[std-proposals] set_new_handler extension

Greetings,

 From my experience the underlying Windows RtlAllocateHeap() and
RtlFreeHeap() aren't reliable in extensive multithreading usages.

One solution is to use thread-local memory pools, which are not only
faster but safer.

Regarding the C++ standards there is only the following function that
can be use upon memory allocation failures:

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/new/set_new_handler

Why can't we have a handler that would be called before it even tries to
allocate anything? This way we could implement our thread-local
allocation routines through the C++ standards and not relying on some
linker hacks magic.


Regards,
