operator new and exception

[seenutn]

Hi All,
The standard form of operator new is to throw exception (bad_alloc)
when out of memory condition is encountered. But I want new to return
NULL instead of throwing exception (behavior similar to malloc). Any
idea of how to go about it?

TIA

Regards,
Seenu.

#include <new>

int* = new(std::nothrow) int(42);

Woah! Took a minute to figure out what your syntax meant. It looked
like you were doing something syntacticly bizarre.

You did mean:

int* pVarName = new(std::nothrow) int(42);

right? Pretty cool.
