 Description  « Hide
Use of strtok and wcstok are discouraged, I quote from the man page for strtok:

BUGS
       Never use these functions. If you do, note that:

              These functions modify their first argument.

              These functions cannot be used on constant strings.

              The identity of the delimiting character is lost.

              The strtok() function uses a static buffer while
              parsing, so it's not thread safe. Use strtok_r() if
              this matters to you.

I discovered this after getting a report from valgrind that StringTokenizer used a delete where it should have used a delete [], however there is no reason just to fix that one problem.

It should be trivial to rewrite using std::basic_string methods.
