Subject: Do not check that 'new' returned a non-NULL pointer.
X-Git-Tag: v9.0.0-rc1~1487^2~11
X-Git-Url: https://gitweb.dealii.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4f5b698eee051c8a748b125502eb05d9d4dc4642;p=dealii.git

Do not check that 'new' returned a non-NULL pointer.

'new' hasn't done that since C++98 but instead throws a std::bad_alloc itself. Consequently,
the assertion would never have failed.
