Answer 1

Cant be done for allocation made within that class library but you can use placement new to allocate classes from that third party library i.e. you can allocate the memory and have constructors of those classes called on the allocated memory.So this way even if the class has its own new operator it wouldnt get called .Howvwer , inside the class operations memory allocations to unexposed internal classes or primitives will be done using the allocation scheme of the third party library ; that cant be changed unless third party library allows you to specify an allocator like stl containers
