In the following example, I didn't expect, that 1.2345foo would be parsed. Since I am reading data files, it is probably better to raise an error and notify the user.

Is peek() the correct thing to do here?

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

int main()
{
  std::stringstream in("1.2345foo");

  double x;

  in >> x;

  if (in) {
    std::cout << "good\n";
  }
  else {
    std::cout << "bad\n";
  }
}

Output

good
