modernize-make-unique¶
This check finds the creation of std::unique_ptr objects by explicitly calling the constructor and a new expression, and replaces it with a call to std::make_unique, introduced in C++14.
auto my_ptr = std::unique_ptr<MyPair>(new MyPair(1, 2));
// becomes
auto my_ptr = std::make_unique<MyPair>(1, 2);
This check also finds calls to std::unique_ptr::reset() with a new expression, and replaces it with a call to std::make_unique.
my_ptr.reset(new MyPair(1, 2));
// becomes
my_ptr = std::make_unique<MyPair>(1, 2);
