I'm not sure exactly what it would do, but you CAN write your own new and delete
operators like this:

void *operator new(size_t size)
{
    // commands go here
    return malloc(size);
}

// This one creates an array
void *operator new[](size_t size, size_t number)
{
    // you get the idea
    return malloc(size*number);
}

void operator delete(void *data)
{
    // stuff
    free(data);
}

This would work, though it may not be the most effective way. See if you can
inline it (I havn't tried) and put it in a header file.
