I do acknowledge that Do you have an indication on performance impact in this use case? And maybe a recommendation on an alternative solution? |

This intends to resolve #546.
Comparing string objects to
nullptris not prevented by the implementation. Therefore, it should check before starting the actual comparison - which currently leads to a segfault due to the unprotected use ofCharStrlen. Given thatCharStrlenfulfills the standard specification of showing UB when called like that, the issue should be fixed on the calling site.The first commit introduces minimal test cases for the global equality operators for
basic_string, the second the (quite small) fix.
