I still think it is not needed to check for all these conditions. Speaking of other bug reports, https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65408#c12 still makes a lot of sense (even though the patch ended up being committed).

> Source/WebCore/platform/efl/ScrollbarEfl.cpp:162
> +    Edje_Message_Float_Set* message = 0;
> +    char* mem = 0;
> +    if (mem = new char[sizeof(Edje_Message_Float_Set) + sizeof(double)])
> +        message = new(mem) Edje_Message_Float_Set;

This ended up looking quite ugly due to Edje's brain-dead way of manipulating this data structure. My suggestion is to just use
  Edje_Message_Float_Set* message = static_cast<Edje_Message_Float_Set*>(malloc(sizeof(Edje_Message_Float_set) + sizeof(double)));
  if (!message) {
    // yadda yadda
  }
and then free() message after sending it.

If a reviewer prefers the use of placement new here, I suggest the following:
  char* mem = new char[sizeof(Edje_Message_Float_Set) * sizeof(double)];
  Edje_Message_Float_Set* message = new(mem) Edje_Message_Float_Set;
in this case, I don't even think it makes sense to check if the allocation fails, as new never returns NULL.

> Source/WebKit/efl/ewk/ewk_cookies.cpp:104
> +        } else
> +            CRITICAL("Could not allocate Ewk_Cookie.");

I still wonder if this is really needed. Assuming the hypothetical case in which malloc fails in the middle of the loop, you nonetheless continue trying to allocate other Ewk_Cookies to add them to the list and then return. I don't think this helps the caller all that much.

> Source/WebKit/efl/ewk/ewk_window_features.cpp:126
> +    if (!window_features->core) {
> +        CRITICAL("Could not allocate WebCore::WindowFeatures.");
> +        return 0;
> +    }

new never returns NULL.
