Not an issue, operator new will never return NULL if it is not the nothrow version of the operator which is called:

#include <new>

struct Foo {};

//  In this form, new never return NULL if there is no memory left.
// Instead it will call std::abort 
Foo* fooCannotBeNULL = new Foo;

//  In this form, new will return NULL if there is no memory left.
Foo* fooCanBeNULL = new(std::nothrow) Foo;
