Subject: g++ and overloading operator new


The Ansi C++ syntax admits the overloading of operator new in
the following way :

class X {
	...
	void *operator new(size_t s) { return (void *)malloc(s); } ;
	void *operator new(size_t, int);
	...
}

and then you can use

x = new(3) X; /* for example */

But this construct is not recognized by gcc/g++ . Does anybody
knows a (more or less) clean way to do the same job ?

I post this message  in this mailing list  as I have  no access to the
Internet News at this time.

Thanks,

F. Popineau
