/* These are the overridden new and delete routines. |
Most applications will want to override at least these four versions of new/delete if they override any of them. |
In Mac OS, it's not necessary to override the array versions of operator new and delete if all |
they would do is call the non-array versions; the C++ standard library, as an extension |
to the C++ standard, does this for you. |
Developers should consult the section [lib.support.dynamic] in the C++ standard to see the requirements |
on the generic operators new and delete; the system may expect that your overridden operators meet all these |
requirements. |
Your operators may be called by the system, even early in start-up before constructors have been executed. */ |

/* Bug 4067110 is that if your program has no weak symbols at all, the linker will not set the |
WEAK_DEFINES bit in the Mach-O header and as a result the new and delete operators above won't |
be seen by system libraries. This is mostly a problem for test programs and small examples, |
since almost all real C++ programs complicated enough to override new and delete will have at |
least one weak symbol. However, this is a small example, so: */ |
