Yes, that's certainly the case. E.g. for the GCCSDK 3.4.6 code base:
<URL:http://www.riscos.info/websvn/filedetails.php?repname=gccsdk&path=%2Fbranches%2Frelease_3_4_6%2Fgcc%2Fgcc%2Flibstdc%2Flibsupc%2Fnew_op.cc&rev=0&sc=0>
& other flavors of 'operator new'.

Never tried it myself for C++ programs but it looks like it supports C++
so worth a try. Or use dmalloc (see Autobuilder).
Good luck,
