There are six flavors each of <code class="function">new</code> and
|
||
<code class="function">delete</code>, so make certain that you're using the right
|
||
ones. Here are quickie descriptions of <code class="function">new</code>:
|
||
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
|
||
single object form, throwing a
|
||
<code class="classname">bad_alloc</code> on errors; this is what most
|
||
people are used to using
|
||
</p></li><li><p>
|
||
Single object "nothrow" form, returning NULL on errors
|
||
</p></li><li><p>
|
||
Array <code class="function">new</code>, throwing
|
||
<code class="classname">bad_alloc</code> on errors
|
||
</p></li><li><p>
|
||
Array nothrow <code class="function">new</code>, returning
|
||
<code class="constant">NULL</code> on errors
|
||
</p></li><li><p>
|
||
Placement <code class="function">new</code>, which does nothing (like
|
||
it's supposed to)
|
||
</p></li><li><p>
|
||
Placement array <code class="function">new</code>, which also does
|
||
nothing
|
||
</p></li></ul></div><p>
|
||
They are distinguished by the parameters that you pass to them, like
|
||
any other overloaded function. The six flavors of <code class="function">delete</code>
|
||
are distinguished the same way, but none of them are allowed to throw
|
||
an exception under any circumstances anyhow. (They match up for
|
||
completeness' sake.)
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Remember that it is perfectly okay to call <code class="function">delete</code> on a
|
||
NULL pointer! Nothing happens, by definition. That is not the
|
||
same thing as deleting a pointer twice.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
By default, if one of the “<span class="quote">throwing <code class="function">new</code>s</span>” can't
|
||
allocate the memory requested, it tosses an instance of a
|
||
<code class="classname">bad_alloc</code> exception (or, technically, some class derived
|
||
from it). You can change this by writing your own function (called a
|
||
new-handler) and then registering it with <code class="function">set_new_handler()</code>:
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
typedef void (*PFV)(void);
|
||
|
||
static char* safety;
|
||
static PFV old_handler;
|
||
|
||
void my_new_handler ()
|
||
{
|
||
delete[] safety;
|
||
popup_window ("Dude, you are running low on heap memory. You
|
||
should, like, close some windows, or something.
|
||
The next time you run out, we're gonna burn!");
|
||
set_new_handler (old_handler);
|
||
return;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
int main ()
|
||
{
|
||
safety = new char[500000];
|
||
old_handler = set_new_handler (&my_new_handler);
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
</pre><p>
|
||
<code class="classname">bad_alloc</code> is derived from the base <code class="classname">exception</code>
|
||
class defined in Chapter 19.
