Constructs an object of type T and wraps it in a std::unique_ptr.
1) Constructs a non-array type
T. The arguments args are passed to the constructor of T. This overload participates in overload resolution only if T is not an array type. The function is equivalent to:
unique_ptr<T>(new T(std::forward<Args>(args)...))
2) Constructs an array of the given dynamic size. The array elements are value-initialized. This overload participates in overload resolution only if
T is an array of unknown bound. The function is equivalent to:
unique_ptr<T>(new std::remove_extent_t<T>[size]())
3,6) Construction of arrays of known bound is disallowed.
4) Same as (1), except that the object is default-initialized. This overload participates in overload resolution only if
T is not an array type. The function is equivalent to:
unique_ptr<T>(new T)
5) Same as (2), except that the array is default-initialized. This overload participates in overload resolution only if
T is an array of unknown bound. The function is equivalent to:
unique_ptr<T>(new std::remove_extent_t<T>[size])

Parameters
| args | - | list of arguments with which an instance of T will be constructed
|
| size | - | the length of the array to construct |
Return value
std::unique_ptr of an instance of type T.
Exceptions
May throw std::bad_alloc or any exception thrown by the constructor of T. If an exception is thrown, this function has no effect.

Notes
Unlike std::make_shared (which has std::allocate_shared), std::make_unique does not have an allocator-aware counterpart. allocate_unique proposed in P0211 would be required to invent the deleter type D for the std::unique_ptr<T,D> it returns which would contain an allocator object and invoke both destroy and deallocate in its operator().

Example
| This section is incomplete Reason: add make_unique_for_overwrite() demo |
Run this code
#include <iomanip> #include <iostream> #include <memory> struct Vec3 { int x, y, z; // following constructor is no longer needed since C++20 Vec3(int x = 0, int y = 0, int z = 0) noexcept : x(x), y(y), z(z) {} friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const Vec3& v) { return os << "{ x=" << v.x << ", y=" << v.y << ", z=" << v.z << " }"; } }; int main() { // Use the default constructor. std::unique_ptr<Vec3> v1 = std::make_unique<Vec3>(); // Use the constructor that matches these arguments std::unique_ptr<Vec3> v2 = std::make_unique<Vec3>(0, 1, 2); // Create a unique_ptr to an array of 5 elements std::unique_ptr<Vec3[]> v3 = std::make_unique<Vec3[]>(5); std::cout << "make_unique<Vec3>(): " << *v1 << '\n' << "make_unique<Vec3>(0,1,2): " << *v2 << '\n' << "make_unique<Vec3[]>(5): "; for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) std::cout << std::setw(i ? 30 : 0) << v3[i] << '\n'; }
Output:
make_unique<Vec3>(): { x=0, y=0, z=0 }
make_unique<Vec3>(0,1,2): { x=0, y=1, z=2 }
make_unique<Vec3[]>(5): { x=0, y=0, z=0 }
{ x=0, y=0, z=0 }
{ x=0, y=0, z=0 }
{ x=0, y=0, z=0 }
{ x=0, y=0, z=0 }See also
