Overloading global new[] array operator in visual c++ 6.0

[Tim Milstead]

(CODE AT END OF POST)

I have got some code for finding memory leaks that works well with:

new()

and needs to be extended to work with

new[]

I have to use visual C++ 6.0 to compile the project. I know that <=5.0
did not support new[] overloading but I don't know about 6.0+. Perhaps
I am just doing something bad c++ wise:

When I add/uncomment my new[] code the compiler produces the following
error:

C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\INCLUDE\xlocale(218) : error C2660: 'new[]'
: function does not take 1 par
ameters
C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\INCLUDE\xlocnum(53) : see reference
to function template instantia
tion 'char *__cdecl std::_Maklocstr(const char *,char *)' being
compiled
C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\INCLUDE\xlocale(218) : error C2660: 'new[]'

to function template instantia
tion 'unsigned short *__cdecl std::_Maklocstr(const char *,unsigned
short *)' being compiled
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl.exe' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

The offending line in xlocale:

_E *_X = new _E[_L];

The offending code in xlocnum:

_Gr = _MAKLOCSTR(char, _P->grouping);
_Nf = _MAKLOCSTR(_E, _Lobj._Getfalse());
