Can a default allocation failure report provide the information
which you might expect so far?

You should be able to answer that question yourself.

I can not answer this detail completely myself because my knowledge
is incomplete about your concrete expectations for the exception handling
which can lead to different views for the need of additional error messages.

It may be a good idea to try to trigger an out-of-memory condition yourself,
and see what happens?

And if you are unable to do so, just do not sent changes pointed
by any code analysis tools.

They can point aspects out for further software development considerations,
can't they?

Sure. But I think it is a good experience to witness what can happen if you
"violate" these "coding standards written by other people", and learn to
understand why they were written, increasing your own knowledge.
