Return Value0 on the first call and the previous new_handler on subsequent calls.
RemarksThe function stores _Pnew in a static new handler pointer that it maintains, then returns the value previously stored in the pointer. The new handler is used by operator new(size_t).
Example// new_set_new_handler.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include<new>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
void __cdecl newhandler( )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ //__cdecl程序的压栈方式为C风格
//__stdcall为PASCAL风格
//举个例子：
//(1) C函数 Fun1(a，b，c)
// 函数调用时，参数压栈顺序为 c , b , a
//(2) PASCAL函数 Fun（a，b，c）
// 函数调用时，参数压栈顺序为 a, b , c

The new_handler is called:
bad allocation
以上例子程序在VC6.0环境下不能编译通过，但在dev_c++中可以通过编译，虽然没试过但相信在gcc下同样可以实现。如果在VC6.0环境下编译，那么必须用_set_new_handler而非set_new_handler, 下面是一个c风格的使用例子。
Example
/* HANDLER.CPP: This program uses _set_new_handler to
* print an error message if the new operator fails.
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <new.h>
/* Allocate memory in chunks of size MemBlock. */
const size_t MemBlock = 1024;
/* Allocate a memory block for the printf function to use in case
* of memory allocation failure; the printf function uses malloc.
* The failsafe memory block must be visible globally because the
* handle_program_memory_depletion function can take one
* argument only.
*/
//非常值得注意的是在这个地方，当内存分配时如果你需要打印提示信息，而打印的步骤也是需要内存的，为防止
//连打印错误信息所需的内存都没有的窘态，必须事先先开辟一块内存以备不时之需，在内存不足需打印信息时可先放掉
//这块预留内存，这就是failsafe的用处所在。具体的请参考msdn中关于_set_new_handler的说明，以及Scott Mayers
在effective c++ 2e iterm7中相关的说明
char * failsafe = new char[128];
/* Declare a customized function to handle memory-allocation failure.
* Pass this function as an argument to _set_new_handler.
*/
int handle_program_memory_depletion( size_t );
void main( void )
{
// Register existence of a new memory handler.
_set_new_handler( handle_program_memory_depletion );
size_t *pmemdump = new size_t[MemBlock];
for( ; pmemdump != 0; pmemdump = new size_t[MemBlock] );
}
int handle_program_memory_depletion( size_t size )
{
// Release character buffer memory.
delete failsafe;
printf( "Allocation failed, " );
printf( "%u bytes not available.\n", size );
// Tell new to stop allocation attempts.
return 0;
}
Output
Allocation failed %0 bytes not available.
