a simpler "new" question

I think my previous posts on this subject are too verbose and are
scaring off replies so I'll keep this one brief:

If I define my own operator new(size_t size) in a class, does that
automatically hide (global) placement new?

Would this prevent STL container classes from working (e.g., does
std::allocator require placement new for its construct() method?)?

Thanks for your help,
Mark

Yes, for that class only.

That I am not sure of.

Yes, for that class only.

I'd think, without checking, that std::allocator should call
global placement new... but I'll check...

And it's as well I did. It's apparently required to have the
same effect as:

new((void *)p) T(val)

which would not call global new if your class has an operator
new declared for it.

Yes, It will hide only for the class in which you have defined new.

No.

Well, std::vector<C> with VS .NET 2003 won't compile if class C does not
also provide placement new.

As noted in my previous post, std::allocator: :create is
required to use placement new.

Hi, I am quite sure this question has answered here already several times, but I haven't found the answer yet. Anyway, here is the question again: I've got libraries (*.so) that are built with gcc 2.95.2. The gcc version, I've installed on my computer, is 3.xx and I don't have the source files of the libraries. Can I link those libraries without uninstalling my new 3.xx-compiler? Thanx for your answers in advance. Isn't there a secret...

For a class, MyClass, there are two ways to instantiate an object: 1. MyClass *MC = new MyClass(); 2. MyClass MC; In general, when should you have to use 1 and when 2? What're advantages/disadvantages of using either? Thanks!

Cracow, 28.10.2004 Hello, I have a program that intensively allocates and deletes lots of relatively small objects, using "new" operator. The objects themselves are composed of smaller objects, again allocated using "new". From my tests I deduce that a considerable part of the computational time is spent on the memory allocation, which makes the program substantially slower compared to the equivalent code written using

Hi! Probably a newbie question. I´ve been working a bit with the widget toolkit FLTK and I have been wondering why there is such a heavy use of the new operator, when it does not seem to be nessesary (at least to me). What follows is an example taken from the FLTK tutorial: ------------- #include <FL/Fl.H> #include <FL/Fl_Window.H>

I'm curious about the differeng behavior of the "new" keyword when dealing with value versus object types. If I'm correct, when I do: dim x as integer There's no need for "new" to be called since this "value" type is all set to go. Is this because value types are stored on the stack so the memory initialization is already taken care of? Now, when dealing with an object type, it seems you do need to use the "new"

i see serveral source codes , and i found they almost only use "new" and "delete" keywords to make they object. Why should i do that , and as i know the object is going to be destroy by itself at the end of the app for example: class test { public: int x;
