This is C++ [expr.new]p13, which specifically states:

  If the allocation function returns null, initialization shall not be done,
the deallocation function shall not be called, and the value of the
new-expression shall be null.

In other words, the standard requires that we check for NULL when operator new
is not permitted to indicate failure by throwing an exception.
