new Returning nullptr on Failure
The C++ standard specifies that programmers can use an older version of new that returns nullptr upon failure. For this purpose, header <new> defines object nothrow (of type nothrow_t), which is used as follows:
double *ptr = new( nothrow ) double[ 50000000 ];
The preceding statement uses the version of new that does not throw bad_alloc exceptions (i.e., nothrow) to allocate an array of 50,000,000 doubles.
Software Engineering Observation 17.7
To make programs more robust, use the version of new that throws bad_alloc exceptions on failure.
