Simple. It's just the same as a standard class function entry or operator
overload. Define the function "void *operater new(size_t size)". Now make the
code for it as void *xxxx::operator new(size_t size){
}
Where xxxx is the function name.
In the function, you simply allocate the memory, and return a pointer, 
alling
a terminate function if you like if you can't get the memory.
