Only to the extent the language allows/mandates. The problem is introduced
by linking with libraries that also define global operator delete
function(s). That means an overloaded operator new function within "the
code" [1] could be used within the context of "the code" code, but if such a
library was linked before this module, "the code" would pick up the
library's operator delete function. Obvious heap function mismatch and -
boom.

[1] "the code" is here defined to be "your" (e.g. fb client library) code,
as opposed to the library linked with.
