A std::string_view doesn’t provide a conversion to a const char* because it doesn’t store a null-terminated string. It stores a pointer to the first element, and the length of the string, basically. That means that you cannot pass it to a function expecting a null-terminated string, like foo (how else are you going to get the size?) that expects a const char*, and so it was decided that it wasn’t worth it.
If you know for sure that you have a null-terminated string in your view, you can use std::string_view::data.
If you’re not you should reconsider whether using a std::string_view in the first place is a good idea, since if you want a guaranteed null-terminated string std::string is what you want. For a one-liner you can use std::string(object).data() (note: the return value points to a temporary std::string instance that will get destroyed after the end of the expression!).
