I have stolen the following code snippet from cppreference.com
and adopted it for usage of wchar_t:
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
template <typename T>
struct test_seq {};
template <>
struct test_seq<char> {
std::string operator()() {
return "1\n2\n3\n4\n5\n6\n7\n";
}
};
template <>
struct test_seq<wchar_t> {
std::wstring operator()() {
return L"1\n2\n3\n4\n5\n6\n7\n";
}
};
int main(int, char **) {
using char_t = wchar_t;
std::basic_istringstream<char_t> input;
test_seq<char_t> seq;
input.str(seq());
int sum = 0;
for (std::basic_string<char_t> token; std::getline(input, token);) {
sum += std::stoi(token);
}
std::cout << "The sum is: " << sum << "\n";
return 0;
}
It comes as no surprise, that changing char_t to char does not affect the value of sum and the program exits successfully.
Anyhow, analyzing both versions with valgrind via valgrind --leak-check=full --leak-resolution=med --track-origins=yes ... causes a huge error log for the wchar_t case, whereas everything is fine for char. Valgrind's error log reads:

What is going on? Do I misuse std::istringstream and / or std::getline?
