Description

C++ Core Guidelines suggest to use either unique_ptr or shared_ptr for better code.
It should also mention const unique_ptr pattern for scoped based pointers

void f()
{
 // non-copyable, non-movable and non-resettable object
 auto const o = make_unique<Object>();
}

EDITED: Use make_unique
