    Same deal. If you were writing to a file or something, there may be issues with your file.

    Fair enough.

    I was thinking along the lines of your program bogging down the system resources. Assuming that you can't recycle anything, at that point, there isn't much that can be done.

    You will have to be more specific, and provide some code. Syntactically, you'd use a global in a class member function the same way you would anywhere else.

    Of course, it is a really bad idea to...

    Checking for NULL isn't worthshile unless you have an old compiler (as stated above). In my opinion, there generally isn't too much point in trying to catch the exception. If you're out of memory,...

    You can achieve the "continual testing" by means of encapsulation. If you have a class (perhaps only a wrapper class) with an overloaded operator=, for instance, then you can 'continually check'. I...

    Dae, I don't know what you mean by constant check, but throwing an exception will unwind the stack until the exception is caught or, if it isn't, the program is terminated.

    Well, to eliminate the templates, you can simply remove 'template<typename T>' and replace 'T' with whatever type you are using (in my example, unsigned char).

    The theory in mine, is this:

    I've dealt with some very competent people, and seen many incompetent ones. I'll readily concede the point.

    Your solution is simple, clear, and effective; stick with it.

    Additionally, there is really no other way that is fundamentally different.

    A side note on grumpy's:

    Consider:


    struct foo {
    typedef my_traits<foo>::char_t* ptr_t;
    };
    It is clear that you want the type my_traits<foo>::char_t* to be typedef'd as ptr_t, but the...

    You are changing the data pointed to by the pointer; that is why the change is permanent. It would be different if you wanted to change what the pointer points to.
