I implemented a language detector using ngrams and all works fine so far. In order to detect a bunch of languages I have a set of language dependent ngrams files for each supported language my detector needs to read in before the actual detection is started.
For reading these files I set the systems default locale (which on my ubuntu machine is en_US.UTF-8) like so. These code snippets are in my language_identifier constructor:
std::locale def_lc(""); // --- line 37 (see valgrind)
const utf8_codecvt_t &utf8_codecvt = std::use_facet<utf8_codecvt_t>(def_lc);
std::locale utf8_locale(def_lc, &utf8_codecvt);
I set the locale via imbue before I open the stream:
wifstream is;
is.open(filename.c_str(), ios::in);
is.imbue(utf8_locale);
if (is.is_open()) {
// ...
}
Executing my detector, valgrind gives me following output:

I can not exactly remember and have no chance to check, but on my ubuntu 10.04 LTS machine I had no above valgrind errors, but I may mistaken.
I can also reproduce this with this simple program:
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
int main (int argc, char **argv) {
try {
std::locale * l1 = new std::locale("de_DE.UTF-8");
delete l1;
std::locale l2("de_DE.UTF-8");
} catch(...) {
return 0;
}
return 0;
};
Does anybody know what's going on here? Do I miss something?
