The only thing I can tell you is that in our codebase the code is commented as:

   /* [basic.std.dynamic.allocation]/1:

       A program is ill-formed if an allocation function is declared
       in a namespace scope other than global scope or declared static
       in global scope.

       The same also holds true for deallocation functions.  */

where the first line is a reference to the ISO C++ standard.

Anyway, this is not the appropriate place to get help with C++.
