You're creating a temporary, that's copied/moved somewhere.

Throwing is anyway a high cost operation. Whether it involves dynamic 
allocation internally depends on the C++ implementation.

Your responsibility ends with the creation of the temporary. Any memory 
management after that is automatic. Of course, it relies on assumed 
correctness of copy constructor and/or move constructor.
