I meant the numbers specifying the sizes of the arrays. It is
better to do something like:
const int ARRAY_SIZE = 32;
if you absolutely have to use an array. But usually you should
be using std::string.

If you need a fixed-size buffer, then an array might be appropriate.

It could leak, depending on how it is implemented. How to fix it
will also depend on the implementation.

istream::gcount() returns the number of characters read in the
last unformatted read operation.
