      Description

      Concatenation of wide and narrow string literals leads to undefined behavior.

      Noncompliant Code Example

      wchar_t n_array[] = "Hello" L"World";     // Noncompliant
wchar_t w_array[] = L"Hello" "World";     // Noncompliant

      Compliant Solution

      char_t n_array[] = "Hello" "World";     // Compliant
wchar_t w_array[] = L"Hello" L"World";	// Compliant
