Why valgrind reporting errors for libstdc ++ std :: locale?

Related question: wifstream with imbue, locale produces valgrind errors

I am using cppreference examples (potentially buggy), in particular the ones provided on the page imbue

. Using the command line in coliru online compiler :

clang++ -std=c++14 -stdlib=libstdc++ -O3 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic-errors 
        -pthread main.cpp && valgrind ./a.out

      

        
        
        
      

    

the following test cases cause errors like this (unless I specify "no errors"):

==5421== Invalid read of size 8
==5421==    at 0x590CBC0: wcscmp (wcscmp.S:208)
==5421==    by 0x4EAC174: std::moneypunct<wchar_t, false>::~moneypunct() (monetary_members.cc:927)

==5421==    by 0x40094D: main (in /tmp/1412433400.2497/a.out)

      

        
        
        
      

    

cppreference imbue

example :

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <locale>

int main()
{
    std::istringstream iss;
    iss.imbue(std::locale("en_US.UTF8"));

    std::cout << "Current locale: " << iss.getloc().name() << '\n';

    iss.imbue(std::locale());
    std::cout << "Global locale : " << iss.getloc().name() << '\n';
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

libstdc++ - errors

libc++ - no errors

The related question in the top given example :

#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;
};

      

        
        
        
      

    

libstdc++ - errors

libc++ - no errors

The linked bug report in the previous question provided an example :

#include <wchar.h>

void foo(int)
{
}

int main()
{
    wchar_t *a=new wchar_t[2], *b=new wchar_t[2];
    size_t j;

    a[0]=b[0]='A';
    a[1]=b[1]=0;

    foo(wcscmp(a, b));
    delete[] a;
    delete[] b;

    return 0;
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

libstdc++ - no errors

libc++ - no errors

I've added a test case of error reporting for completeness, even if they don't produce errors. Coliru valgrind's version is 3.7.0 and the OP in a related thread mentions upgrading to 3.8.1 and is still accepting errors. I am not on a Linux machine at the moment, so I cannot test it myself. If it matters, here's the glibc output:

Where is the mistake? Examples of cppreference, valgrind or libstdc ++?
