+  Globally override new and delete so that it can use the correct

+
+  Note that new comes in multiple different variants. When new is used
+  without std::nothrow the compiler is free to assume it will not fail
+  as it assumes exceptions are enabled. This makes code like this
+  unsafe when using -fno-exceptions:
+
+    a = new b;
+    if (a == nullptr) {
+      handle_error()
+    }
+
+  The compiler may remove the error handling. With g++ you can use
+  -fcheck-new to avoid this, but on clang++ the compiler accepts
+  -fcheck-new as a valid flag, but doesn't implement it, and may remove
+  the error checking. That makes using clang++ unsafe with
+  -fno-exceptions if you ever call new without std::nothrow.
+..It has been verified that hexagon-clang++ will remove the nullptr checks
+  after new if any optimization is selected for the compiler.
