This can be done like this if you have dwarf debugging info installed:

test.cpp:
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  int* x = new int[256];
  int* y = new int;
  delete[] x;
  int* z = new int;
  delete y;
  return 0;
}

$ g++ test.cpp
$ stap -e 'probe process("a.out").library("libstdc++.so.6").{function("operator new"), function("operator delete")} {println(ppfunc())}'
operator new
operator new
operator delete
operator new
operator delete

You can take a look at man stapprobes for more information.
