Re: [Openexr-devel] Relying on exceptions in fuzz tests?

[Keith Jeffery]

This is a fair assumption, in lines with the C++ standard. Calls to the new operator and operator new throw if the memory cannot be allocated, unless the std::nothrow overloaded versions are used. Any custom allocators should follow the precedence laid out by the standard.

It seems like the OpenEXR library does rather assume that calls to 'new' etc will throw exceptions if they fail, rather than nullptr testing. This is in the library itself, rather than the fuzz tests.
