I think it's hard to argue that Google is in the wrong by not wanting to rely on std::bad_alloc for dealing with OOM. > Google's C++ standards also teach people that it's okay to use the STL and not worry about allocation failure, which hurts program robustness generally. Actually, I think making std::bad_alloc call std::terminate improves program robustness by a lot over trying to gracefully recover from all allocation failure. Certainly it reduces security vulnerabilities. |

So does the power button. You can't get away with justifying breaking arbitrary functionality in the name of security.
