Re: private constructor and new operator overloading.

you need to write a new static member function to instead of the operator
new.
But How the constructor gets called?Is it called from operator new
function or is it called after operator new function?
for instance:
class MyClass {
public:
static MyClass* New();
// using keyword "protected" means it can be derived.
// using keyword "private" means it cannot be derived any more.
protected:
MyClass();
};
int main() {
...
MyClass* pMyClass = MyClass::New();
...
delete pMyClass;
...
}

A correction in the code snippet..
Dear Experts,
I want to make a class whose objects can be created only on heap.
I used the following approach.
class ss
{
ss(){}
public:
void* operator new(size_t sz)
{
cout<<"in new"<<endl;
return malloc(sz); //return new char[sz];
//sorry..... my
mistake
}
void operator delete(void* m)
{
free(m);
}
};
int main()
{
ss* s = new ss;
return 0;
}
But when I do
ss* s = new ss;
compiler complains that constructor ss::ss() is private.
As operator new function is member of class so compiler should not
complain because operator new function can call the default
constructor even if it is private.
I am surprised and confused.
Suggestions would be of great help.
