:mrdocs:

Throw a `bsl::bad_alloc` exception if exceptions are enabled in the current build mode, otherwise abort the program. `bsl::bad_alloc` will be an alias for the platform's `std::bad_alloc` class, to ensure both ABI and API compatibility with non‐BDE code relying on the standard exception hierarchy.
