>this is wrong signature for move constructor.
Well, I made them const so that I could more easily determine what was being copied, and what was being moved. That allowed me to find a few places in code which I fixed. But yeah, move constructor with const doesn't make sense.

>your version had three problems:
Nice catch. I should mention that, if a sav file is missing ---, it's corrupted, because the header contains critical data.

>I had helper class `class RawData`
I should probably have made readFileRaw and getYamlSaveHeaderRaw return RawData instead of char*.

YamlRootNodeReader currently copies that data to ryml::Tree's buffer (arena), so there's no need to keep that data.
I could make a version that would use parse_in_place instead of parse_in_arena, but then data would have to outlive YamlRootNodeReader instance, which means it would have to keep the data. It's not worth the effort, because it only makes parsing maybe 1% faster (skips 1 memory allocation + copy).

Anyway, yeah, unique_ptr with RawData would probably be a better solution instead of YamlRootNodeReader calling free itself. Probably also safer, because if there's an exception, the free doesn't get called.

Should I change stuff to use unique_ptr + RawData?

> and what was being moved

is this constructor even called? I recall that overload resolution always avoid this signature and `const&` is always preferred over `const&&`.

> Should I change stuff to use unique_ptr + RawData?

Yes, but RawData is unique_ptr + size. This means when you use one, you use both. For now we can replace `char*, size_t` args by `RawData`.

>  because it only makes parsing maybe 1% faster

Ok, if we remove other allocations then it would rise to araund 4%? Probably too much changes for small profit. For now we can keep as is, maybe in future after we stabilize codebase we can improve things here (like script too).

>3. compilation for ios in xcode
Based on those linker errors my best guess is that the rapidyaml cpp files aren't being compiled. Does a build log contain any rapidyaml hpp file compilation?
It could also be that the #include in Yaml.h (#include "../../libs/rapidyaml/ryml.hpp") is wrong, if the hpp files aren't at the right place.

Yeah, it will be something like that.
I remember now, I had similar issues when miniz library was added.
I solved it by copying miniz sources to "src" (from "../../libs"), adding the new ones to the project and modifying includes to refer to new ones.
Ugly, but worked.

I tried the same hacks now with rapidyaml, but unfortunately it didn't work... there's too many includes to modify, the thing simply doesn't see itself.
I really don't get it how such a simple thing as adding files to a project can be so FUCKING complicated and unintuitive as in Apple XCode.

We'll need someone who understands XCode to do this... I don't have the nerves for this.
