Thanks

P.S.
I want to this for specific purpose :
I have big array (about 1MB) with my debug informations. At program start up
I create one big chunk of memory, then lock it. All debug informations must
be store in this area. So I want to use placement version of new( ). I have
few variable working like litle memory manage for this area so I know exacly
where I want my debug class to be placed.
