You're returning a T *, not a void *, and C++ requires that pointers are

C qsort doesn't return anything and the comparison function returns int.
extern void qsort (void *__base, size_t __nmemb, size_t __size,
__compar_fn_t __compar) __nonnull ((1, 4));
It is the C qsort that has undefined behavior if the 1st or 4th argument is
NULL. So I don't see what is wrong on:
qsort (ptr ? (void *) ptr : "", nmemb, sizeof (*ptr), compar);
Ah, we have a misunderstanding. I assumed you were talking about the
data() member of std::vector.
