Victor,

Sorry for unkind message. I guess you are seeing this when creating
dictionary of your add-on program. Please ignore it. It is there to
notify that global operator new() is overloaded in user's code or it
is intentionally masked by user. You don't need to care about this
as long as generated dictionary compiles.

In general, messages are divided into 4 categories in order of severity
Error: Warning: Limitation: and Note:. Error: is always bad. Warning may
be ignored in some occasion but there may be some bad cases. Limitation:
notifies difference between C++ compiler and interpreter. Note: is just
information which is usually OK to ignore.
