Nice. Was concerned when I saw @herbsutter's C++ deterministic exception proposal. Particularly that it'd forever prevent postgres to migrate to C++ (from C), as we need to/do handle out-of-memory errors.
Revisions partially address my concerns.

In particular R3/R4 seems to have changed (around §4.3) the proposal so that an allocator can continue to throw on allocation failure (but needs to signal that it does). Still don't get why the paper uses GUI applications as a benchmark for testing real-world OOM resistance.

I would assume that, even when "just" looking inside the MS universe, that e.g. MS SQL Server is much more likely to be allocation failure resistant than word or powerpoint.
