Details
Save as snippet.cpp. Compile with g++ -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra snippet.cpp -o snippet, then run ./snippet. Uses the C++ standard library.
Not a CSV parser; quoted fields and trailing empty fields need additional handling.

Test inputs, results and environment
The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Unprivileged snippet process, external networking disabled, read-only root filesystem, and a fresh temporary working directory. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.
