	Hello,

	I am trying to overload the new operator using the placement syntax.
It is, the class I am developing is similar to this one:

class Foo {
public:
  Foo()
  {
    // do something (1)
  }

  void * operator new(size_t size, Arena *arena)
  {
    // Allocate memory for size bytes in arena
  }

}


	I have overloaded new this way because when I create a new object 
I want to tell the memory management system where the object has to be 
allocated.  So, I want to write something like this:

Foo *f = new(my_arena) Foo();

	But when I try to compile this class, my compiler reports an 
error message at (1): "wrong number of arguments in call to operator 
new(unsigned int, Arena *)".

	Could some one, please, tell me about what I am doing wrong?  
I have read "The C++ programming Language" 2nd Ed., but I haven't found a
solution.

	Even more, my compiler allows a constructor like:

class Bar{
public:
  Bar(char *)(float)(int) ... (float *, int **)
  {
  }
}

	Could you, please, explain me what this syntax means, or tell
me where I can find the information I need?

	Thank you very much, indeed.

P.S.:  Please, e-mail me and I will post the responses to this newsgroup.
