<pre>Currently, the global operator new(size_t), when libc++ is compiled without
exceptions, will return nullptr on allocation failure. Since ::operator
new(size_t) must return a valid piece of memory, this leads to crashes on
allocation failures.
Instead of returning null, ::operator new(size_t) should probably assert on
builds without exceptions to avoid this, since nothrow new already has
nullptr-on-failure semantics.</pre>
