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)

The command I used to compile the code above:

running 1 thread), it showed that llvm is almost twice as slow as gcc (both
compile with -O3) on my IBM power8 machine. Is it suppose to be with such slower
performance than gcc?
