+        Fix compile issue on Solaris 10/Sun Studio 12, since the move is copying 
+        the source and deleting it, formally the argument shouldn't be const anyway.

This is a questionable explanation. The ability to delete an object via a const pointer is a normal C++ behavior, and playing against C++ is not safe. Wouldn't it be better to do a const_cast when destructing as a workaround?

Besides, if src should be non-const, why doesn't the same apply to srcEnd?
