Hi!
What is the method you use to handle memory allocation failure in C++
using the "new" operator?
I used to only check if a NULL pointer is returned after the "new" call,
but that's probably only working in MSVC++.
I also read about the "bad_alloc" exception, but that doesn't seem to be
thrown by MSVC++.
Now, one could of course say "don't use MSVC++", but I'd rather like to
hear a good solution for being able to handle memory allocation failure
in a cross-compiler way (we're using MSVC++ on windows and gcc on
linux). Any ideas anyone?
Is installing a new handler the only way to be sure?

Not in the last two versions. You have to go back to the 6.0 series,
which predates the standard. Both VC7.0 and VC7.1 get it right.

I believe installing a new handler is also buggy on VC6. Upgrading from
VC6 to VC7 is relatively painless; i've done it on more than one project.
As others mentioned, new(nothrow) is an option.
For windows, this often is a bit of a non-issue though. Windows will
swap to death before failing, the user will probably kill off the
program first. The only case I know that fails fast enough to matter is
running into the 2Gb limit, if your PC has more than 2Gb RAM. I don't
know if that's implemented properly in VC6, though.

Hi,
Doing a bit of system testing on a Windows 98 laptop. (.Net 1.1 app).
Did a bit of testing. Loaded a previously saved file. A gray box
appeared with the text and buttons all white rectangles with a big red cross
in it. Pressed a button (the one I thought might be ok). My file
appeared to load. Then when I clicked on any button on my form, the button
was replaced with a white rectangle with a big red cross in it.

Here's what I want do:
Have a main daemon which starts up several threads in a Boss-Queue structure.
From those threads, I want them all to sit and watch a queue. Once an entry
goes into the queue, grab it and run a system command.
Now I want to make sure that system command doesn't hang forever, so I need some
way to kill the command and have the worker thread go back to work waiting for
another queue entry.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
