_set_new_handler() problem header?

As i try to compile the program, there are some errors in it, stating that redefinition of class bad_alloc() the code is this

#include <new.h>
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cerr;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
 
class bad_alloc {};
 
int NewHandler (size_t size)
{
    throw bad_alloc ();
    return 0;
}
int main ()
{
        //_set_new_handler (NewHandler);
        try
        {
                status status;
                SymbolTable symTab;
                Function::Table funTab (symTab);
                Store store (symTab);
 
                cerr << "\nEnter empty line to quit\n";
                do
                {
                        cerr << "> ";  // prompt
                        Scanner scanner (cin);
 
                        if (!scanner.IsEmpty ())
                        {
                                Parser  parser (scanner, store, funTab, symTab);
                                status = parser.Parse ();
                                if (status == stOk)
                                {
                                        double result = parser.Calculate ();
                                        cout << result << endl;
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                        cerr << "Syntax error.\n";
                                }
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                break;
                        }
                } while (status != stQuit);
        }
        catch (bad_alloc)
        {
                cerr << "Out of memory!\n";
        }
        catch (...)
        {
                cerr << "Internal error\n";
        }
        return 0;
}

and then after that i tried to remove the code in line #8 and i tried compiling it again, but another error pops out...saying set_new_handler was not declared in this scope. i tried changing <new.h> to <new> but it still returns same error... does set_new_handler function still exists? cause i just copied the source from a book and the book was way back to 1996.... or I just included a wrong header file? or the function name has changed? thank you so much
