[llvm-dev] Clang++: No member name 'make_unique' in namespace 'std'

[David Blaikie via llvm-dev]

1) clang++ -v will show you which standard library headers it's using,
it might be using an older standard library on your system that
doesn't have std::make_unique.
2) Did you build the compiler in release mode, or in debug mode? (with
or without assertions enabled)
