Detailed Description

Handle some fatal situations.

Important: By default, without specific "nothrow" form of allocator, the operator "new" and std::make_shared() never return a null pointer. They throw std::bad_alloc in case of allocation failure. Therefore, it is useless to test such new pointers for a null value and trigger a fatal error.
