C++ operator new when out of heap.

[Nick.SIMON at syntegra.bt.co.uk]

The C++ spec now says that 'new' never returns null, but if out of heap
throws an exception (a C++ exception that is).

Does anyone know if this is the case with RTEMS tools & libraries, or is
null returned as per the old standard?  I'm using 4.5.0 beta 3 (soon to be
beta 3a).

TIA,

I used to think I was uncertain, but now I'm not sure.
