To our best knowledge, the implementation always returns the right
substring and indeed your testcase compiles and runs as expected.
Before posting messages pointing out non-existant bugs please study
in detail the concerned sections of the standard or pick a good
book (for strings I suggest Josuttis Ch. 11) (*)

(*) For instance, you will learn that the second argument of substr
is a count not an index.
