bad_alloc exception not caught in snappy.cc::Compress

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Snappy currently doesn't seem to handle out of memory situations, is there a 
plan to make it more robust to allocation failures? Thanks.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. throw a "bad_alloc" in place of any "new char[...]" in Compress in snappy.cc
2. call snappy_compress using the built-in C interface
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
a std::bad_alloc exception is thrown

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Snappy 1.1.2, Windows Server 2012 R2

Please provide any additional information below.
