Memory errors

Hey, How do you handle memory errors?? Where memory arn''t allocated or maybe a container is exceeding its bounds? ex... char &Alloc::GetPartOfChunk(unsigned int index){ //if (index >= chunkSize) // Throw an exception here return *(memoryPool + (chunkIndex + index)); }

To petewood...

Maybe when the memory exceeded its boundaries it shouldn''t close the application... But when it failed to allocate memory, what would you do then?

however you handle it is up to you...if it failed to allocate memory it is most likely that you went out of the bounds of previously allocated memory...this needs to be fixed...if it''s more helpful to you to exit when you go out of bounds, then exit, or you could log it to a debug file to examine when your program crashes.
