<overview>
<p>When using the <code>new</code> operator to allocate memory, you need to pay attention to the different ways of detecting errors. <code>::operator new(std::size_t)</code> throws an exception on error, whereas <code>::operator new(std::size_t, const std::nothrow_t &)</code> returns zero on error. The programmer can get confused and check the error that occurs when allocating memory incorrectly. That can lead to an unhandled program termination or to a violation of the program logic.</p>
