Handle C++ "new" memory exhaustion

Introduction

When new runs out of memory, I get a call to abort or an exception.

I want it to return NULL.

Possible solution

Use the nothrow variant of new as illustrated in provided Screen dumps and Example Project: Example IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM 7.20.zip.

Background

See section USING NEW HANDLERS in the compiler guide, for example "IAR C/C++ Development Guide" for ARM (page 186 in Part number: DARM-12), for related info.
