Does std::make_unique have any efficiency benefits like std::make_shared? Compared to manually constructing std::unique_ptr: std::make_unique<int>(1); // vs std::unique_ptr<int>(...

Say if I have this definition: class A { A(); std::unique_ptr<B> m_b; }; class B {}; Is there a difference if I initialize A like: A::A() : m_b(new B()) {} vs. A::A() : m_b(std::...

As far as I understand, C++14 introduced std::make_unique because, as a result of the parameter evaluation order not being specified, this was unsafe: f(std::unique_ptr<MyClass>(new MyClass(...
