Sorry, I completely misread your original mail, I thought you meant
new and delete operators for specific classes, not the global ones.
You're right that std::allocator uses the global new and delete operators.

I can't reproduce this, I see stringstream calling both.
Creating new vector
pushing an element
new: 4 bytes
wrap_malloc: 4 bytes
wrap_malloc address: 0x1528c20
new address: 0x1528c20
Creating new ostringstream
pushing once
new: 513 bytes
wrap_malloc: 513 bytes
wrap_malloc address: 0x1528c40
new address: 0x1528c40
pushing twice
printing it out
new: 28 bytes
wrap_malloc: 28 bytes
wrap_malloc address: 0x1528e50
new address: 0x1528e50
Blah blah blah boo dee doo
delete: 0x1528e50
wrap_free: 0x1528e50
delete: 0x1528c40
wrap_free: 0x1528c40
delete: 0x1528c20
wrap_free: 0x1528c20

N.B. compiling your code produces loads of warnings, the correct
format specifiers for printf are %zu and %p.
