[Dev-C++] overloading new()

[Lloyd <ll...@cd...>]

Hi,
 I want to overload the new operator. My requirement is to print a
message and use the global operator new from the overloaded new
"function". I am using the global new in my program I just want it to
use my overloaded new by just including a namespace... This is the way I
am trying to implement it... but compiler gives me the errors... How can
I do this?

The code:-
 
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

namespace x
{
 void* operator new(size_t);
}

void* x::operator new(size_t x)
{
 cout<<"hai"<<endl;
 //how to use global new instead of malloc?
 return malloc(x); 
}

using namespace x;

int main()
{
 int *a=new int(1);
 return 0;
}

This is the error:-
operator.cpp:20: error: call of overloaded `operator new(unsigned int)'
is ambiguous
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.3/../../../../include/c+
+/3.4.3/new:82: note: candidates are: void* operator new(size_t)
operator.cpp:10: note:                 void* x::operator new(size_t)

Thanks and Regards,
  Lloyd

Awaiting for your help :)
