Copy assignment operator
The copy assignment operator is called whenever selected by overload resolution, e.g. when an object appears on the left side of an assignment expression. ... noexcept specification (since C++17) Because the copy assignment operator is always declared for any class, the base class assignment operator is always hidden. ...

The move assignment operator should often be declared noexcept (i.e. to store the type in STL containers). But the copy-and-swap idiom allows both copy- and move- assignment operators to be defined in a single piece of code.
Copy assignment operator
The copy assignment operator selected for every non-static class type (or array of class type) memeber of T is trivial. A trivial copy assignment operator makes a copy of the object representation as if by std::memmove. All data types compatible with the C language (POD types) are trivially copy-assignable.
27.9
Make copy constructors and copy assignment operators noexcept when you can. Use noexcept on other functions to express a no-fail or no-throw guarantee. Best practice. If you are uncertain whether a function should have a no-fail/no-throw guarantee, err on the side of caution and do not mark it with noexcept. Reversing a decision to use noexcept ...
C++ Core Guidelines: The noexcept Specifier and Operator
In particular, the expression noexcept (noexcept (T (src)). The inner noexcept ist the noexcept operator, and the outer is the noexcept specifier. The expression noexcept (T (src)) checks if the copy constructor is non-throwing. This is the case for the class Noexcept (2) but not for the class NonNoexcept (3) b ecause of the copy constructor of ...

Because the copy assignment operator is always declared for any class, the base class assignment operator is always hidden. ...
The Copy-and-Swap Idiom
Both assignment operators make a temporary copy tmp of the source object (lines 1 and ) and then apply the swap function to it (lines 3 and 4). When the used swap functions are noexcept, the copy assignment operator and the move assignment operator support the strong exception safety guarantee. This means that both assignment operators ...
C++ Core Guidelines: Rules for Copy and Move
C.66: Make move operations noexcept. M ove operations should not throw; therefore, you should declare them as noexcept. You can implement your move constructor and move assignment operators that do not throw. This is the pattern the move operators of the standard template library follow. Have a look at std::vector.
OOP54-CPP. Gracefully handle self-copy assignment
Also, the copy-assignment operator cannot be `noexcept`. That's true for both the copy and swap as well as move and swap CSes - good catch! There are two issues there: 1) std::swap() is conditionally noexcept, and 2) the constructor for T can throw a std::bad_alloc if the allocation fails. I'd probably drop the noexcept specifiers from the ...
27.10
Warning. If a type has both potentially throwing move semantics and deleted copy semantics (the copy constructor and copy assignment operator are unavailable), then std::move_if_noexcept will waive the strong guarantee and invoke move semantics. This conditional waiving of the strong guarantee is ubiquitous in the standard library container classes, since they use std::move_if_noexcept often.
22.3
In lesson 22.1 -- Introduction to smart pointers and move semantics, we took a look at std::auto_ptr, discussed the desire for move semantics, and took a look at some of the downsides that occur when functions designed for copy semantics (copy constructors and copy assignment operators) are redefined to implement move semantics.. In this lesson, we'll take a deeper look at how C++11 resolves ...
The Rule of Five in C++
Copy Assignment Operator is a special type of function that takes care of assigning the data of one object to another object. It gets called when you use this assignment operator (=) between objects. ... ClassName(ClassName&& other) noexcept //"noexcept" is not a function name but a specifier in C++, does not throw any exceptions {
Move Assignment Operator in C++ 11
The move assignment operator was added in C++ 11 to further strengthen the move semantics in C++. It is like a copy assignment operator but instead of copying the data, this moves the ownership of the given data to the destination object without making any additional copies. The source object is left in a valid but unspecified state.
The rule of three/five/zero
Rule of three. If a class requires a user-defined destructor, a user-defined copy constructor, or a user-defined copy assignment operator, it almost certainly requires all three. Because C++ copies and copy-assigns objects of user-defined types in various situations (passing/returning by value, manipulating a container, etc), these special ...
When is `noexcept` required on move assignment?
Otherwise, if an exception is thrown by the move constructor of a non-CopyInsertable T, the effects are unspecified. - "no effects" requirement is only when inserting single element at the end. it does not seem to be possible to have strong exception safety if it happens when reallocating/swapping elements in the container. - dewaffled.
Does noexcept matter with explicitly defaulted move constructor
Ok, I found the answer in Nico's Josuttis book "C++ Move Semantics - The Complete Guide": When you have a defaulted special member function you can explicitly specify a different noexcept guarantee than the generated one.
