Forcing new to fail [modified]

[hint_54]

Hi all =) Is there a way of forcing the operator new to fail?? I need to test something... Best regards [[]] hint_54 -- modified at 18:06 Wednesday 31st May, 2006 Oh.. and one more thing =D If I overload the operator new then the class constructors will not be called when memory is allocated for them. How do I make it call the constructor? Peace =) hint_54

Placement new? new (ptr_to_memory) Class(args)

Overloading the new should not effect whether the constructor is called. Steve

How are you verifying this?

I add a printf to the constructor. But I don't get it.. it wasn't calling it and now it is! It must have been something else.. regards hint_54

Yes.. It's working now, but it didn't work at first.. Don't know why.. regards hint_54
