Are we talking this? [1]

  An lvalue (locator value) represents an object that occupies
  some identifiable location in memory (i.e. has an address).

  rvalues are defined by exclusion. Every expression is either
  an lvalue or an rvalue, so, an rvalue is an expression that
  does not represent an object occupying some identifiable
  location in memory.

So maybe an rvalue is just stored somewhere temporarily in the
process of computing something else ...
