Overloading operator new for a class

Question

When we overload new operator of a class, we declare the function as a member function. For eg:

class OpNew {
public:
    OpNew() { cout << \"OpNew::Op         


        

Answer 1

An operator new() or operator new[]() for a class is always a static class member, even if it is not declared with the keyword static.

What the C++ standard says (draft n3242), in section [class.free]:

Any allocation function for a class T is a static member (even if not explicitly declared static).
