The standard doesn't guarantee that null pointers compare less than non-null pointers. AddressSanitizer complains about the pptr()> egptr() comparison in basic_stringbuf::str() when egptr() is null.
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: PR libstdc++/97415 * include/std/sstream (basic_stringbuf::str()): Check for null egptr() before comparing to non-null pptr(). Tested powerpc64le-linux. Committed to trunk.
