The bug is in your C++ code. "abcß" as tableName.lenght() (wstring) returns
4 (as in four characters) not number of bytes required to represent the
intended string: 61 62 63 c3 9f
Since the last character is a 2 bytes in length. Therefore, your call to
PQexecParams() specifies a shorter length and hence an invalid UTF-8
sequence.
Furthermore, your value[] array allocation is in error since
wstring::length returns number of characters, not number of bytes. so you
will end up with buffer-overflows.

size() also returns 4. If you multiply it with sizeof(wchar_t) you will end
up with maximum buffers size necessary to hold the string (minus
terminating \0), but not the correct length you are after. I am unsure of
the "correct" C++ solution.

I was hoping someone more versed in C++ would jump in to answer your
question. I haven't used C++ in at least a decade.
You need to convert the wchar_t data that wstring stores into UTF-8.
Personally, I would use iconv (common enough).
I assume the PostgresDatabase class is your own (?) I would add a helper
function to do the conversion. Here is a very rough template for you to
adapt if you think it helps you.
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
class PGDB {
public:
// your stuff ...
iconv_t ic;
PGDB(void) {
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
ic = iconv_open("UTF-8", "wchar_t");
if ((iconv_t)-1 == ic)
errx(1, "iconv_open");
}
~PGDB() {
iconv_close(ic);
}
// caller should free()
char*wchar2utf8(std::wstring const &ws) {
char*in, *buf, *out;
size_t bufsz, inbytes, outbytes;
in = (char *)ws.data();
inbytes = ws.length() * sizeof(wchar_t);
outbytes = inbytes;
bufsz = inbytes + 1; // XXX check for overflow
buf = (char *)calloc(bufsz, 1);
if (NULL == buf)
err(1, NULL); // or throw something
out = buf;
if ((size_t)-1 == iconv(ic, &in, &inbytes, &out, &outbytes))
errx(1, "iconv"); // or throw ...
// TODO ensure inbytes is 0 (meaning all input consumed)
return buf;
}
};
// demo using above PGDB class/code
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char*str;
size_t i, n;
std::wstringtab;
PGDBpg;
tab = L"ºabcß";
str = pg.wchar2utf8(tab);
n = strlen(str);
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
printf("%02hhx ", str[i]);
}
printf("\n");
printf("->%s<-\n", str);
free(str);
return 0;
}
So in GetTableOwner() you'd call wchar2utf8() for the input wstring data
and you don't do the new/memset/strcpy. Just remember to free() the
returned utf8 string pointers after call to PQexecParams().
