I'm using GCC and G++ 2.81 and I would like to know if its
implementation of new conforms with the ISO/ANSI C++ draft. The
following code 
does not work:

#include <iostream>
#include <new>

int main()
{
    try
    {
        char *ptr = new char[100000000];    // this will probably fail
        cout << ptr << endl;
    }
    catch(...)
    {
        cout << "exception!" << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

	The result is:
	"new: virtual memory exhausted" (or something like that...)
	And this code does not compile:

#include <iostream>
#include <new>

int main()
{
    try
    {
        char *ptr = new(char[100000000], nothrow);	// this will probably
fail
        cout << ptr << endl;
    }
    catch(...)
    {
        cout << "exception!" << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

	The compiler generates a "parse error before ,", like nothrow hasn't
been defined.

	Thanks in advance,
