[cfe-dev] [analyzer] Enhancement for modernize-make-unique check

[Jonas Toth via cfe-dev]

Hi Alexander,

from reading the matcher I can not find an issue right now, but did you
try `clang-query`  and a minimal matcher that will just match you code?
>From there it is easier to integrate it into the already existing matcher.

Best Regards
Jonas
