Yes because the normal operator new guarante not to return NULL by the C++ standard. And if it returns a NULL that is undefined behavior, it should be throwing an exception when memory could not be allocated (there is a nonthrow version which can and will return NULL). -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19476
