Its guaranteed not to be NULL, why should it be?

Wouldn't p==NULL if there wasn't enough memory for new to succeed? I
haven't been paying much attention to the standard recently, but I
assume this is still true. But, other than this error condition, p is
guaranteed to be a valid address (which NULL is not), and different
from any other pointers allocated with new or malloc (not just
different from other ints allocated).

Yes, it is guaranteed not to be NULL, and it's guaranteed to be
different from any other "int"'s address in the system.

Assuming new didn't throw bad_alloc, p will be a unique, non-null
pointer, but dereferencing it will give undefined results.
