Your comment boils down to 'all code should be perfect'. Which is a lovely request, but doesn't really help.

In particular, I'd challenge you to find one large program that handles OOM situations 100% correctly, especially since most code runs atop an OS configured to over-allocate memory. But even if it wasn't, I doubt there's any sizeable codebase that handles every memory allocation failure correctly and gracefully.
