 Finds calls to ``new`` with missing exception handler for ``std::bad_alloc``.

 Calls to ``new`` can throw exceptions of type ``std::bad_alloc`` that should
 be handled by the code. Alternatively, the nonthrowing form of ``new`` can be
 used. The check verifies that the exception is handled in the function
-that calls ``new``, unless a nonthrowing version is used or the exception
-is allowed to propagate out of the function (exception handler is checked for
-types ``std::bad_alloc``, ``std::exception``, and catch-all handler).
+that calls ``new``.
+
+If a nonthrowing version is used or the exception is allowed to propagate out
+of the function no warning is generated.
+
+The exception handler is checked for types ``std::bad_alloc``,
+``std::exception``, and catch-all handler.
 The check assumes that any user-defined ``operator new`` is either
 ``noexcept`` or may throw an exception of type ``std::bad_alloc`` (or derived
 from it). Other exception types or exceptions occurring in the object's
 constructor are not taken into account.
