assert ( malloc...

A question for you, Anon.

If you watch at malloc() manpage you can notice that the function may return NULL in some cases (i.e. errors or 0-sized allocation). How do you face this issue?

I noticed that many programmers check the return value and manage error routines for it, while other just assert() the return value not to be NULL.

Also in C++ by the way you use the new operator without taking care about the return value (I guess it's asserted to be not NULL under the hood, is it?)

What is your opinion?

Yeah pretty much.
Really? I thought he was trolling. Dynamic memory allocation is very important in my opinion. It's so important that people have spent quite a lot of time working on components to handle the process so you don't have to.
