Your testcase is invalid.
GCC trunk -fsanitize=undefined (in particular -fsanitize=nonnull-attribute)
diagnoses it:
/tmp/mystring.cpp:103:26: runtime error: null pointer passed as argument 2, which is declared to never be null
LD_PRELOAD=libmemstomp.so detects it too.
Calling memcpy (p, NULL, 0); is invalid according to C and C++
standards, you need to guard it, e.g. with if (data) memcpy (p, data, len1);
or if (len1) memcpy (p, data, len1);
