That's expected. The contents of the string_view are a string literal,
which is in the program image, not on the heap. AddressSanitizer
doesn't check access to such memory.
The byte after the string literal "brush" is uninitialized, but it
does exist in a valid memory page.

And it's not detected by Debug Mode because string_view iterators are
just pointers.
