Can someone help me: why the "new" operation cannot work in Debug version, while ok in Release version?

Example: (in Debug version)
Handle(AIS_Shape) aBox1 = new AIS_Shape(B1); error:
error C2661: 'Standard_Transient::operator new' : no overloaded function takes 3 arguments

Do you use MFC? It redefines the "new" operator in debug version to track the memory allocations. In every cpp the MFC wizzard adds the following snippet:

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#undef THIS_FILE
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
#endif

If you have this, try to comment it.
