std::make_unique, std::make_unique_for_overwrite

Declarations

// 3)
template< class T, class... Args >
/* unspecified */ make_unique( Args&&... args ) = delete;
// 6)
template< class T, class... Args >
/* unspecified */ make_unique_for_overwrite( Args&&... args ) = delete;

Constructs an object of type T and wraps it in a std::unique_ptr.


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)...))

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.


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)

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.

Possible Implementation

make_unique_for_overwrite (4,5,6)

// C++20 make_unique_for_overwrite
template<class T>
requires (!std::is_array_v<T>)
std::unique_ptr<T> make_unique_for_overwrite()
{
return std::unique_ptr<T>(new T);
}

template<class T>
requires std::is_unbounded_array_v<T>
std::unique_ptr<T> make_unique_for_overwrite(std::size_t n)
{
return std::unique_ptr<T>(new std::remove_extent_t<T>[n]);
}

template<class T, class... Args>
requires std::is_bounded_array_v<T>
void make_unique_for_overwrite(Args&&...) = delete;

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().
