Maybe a libc++ or configuration specific code. Otherwise I fail to see why this can compile anywhere.

I can have a look later but since you can already reproduce it - feel free to create a PR as the fix is probably very simple (get rid of .data()).

This should be fixed by https://github.com/Martchus/cpp-utilities/commit/e79fcf793e4ff3ab90ec870496349725cd9b76dd but I haven't had the time to test it yet.

My Android builds (which also use this configuration) work so I guess this can be closed.
