Description
Version and Platform (required):
- Binary Ninja Version: 3.1.3751-dev
- OS: Windows
- OS Version: 10
- CPU Architecture: x64
Bug Description:
I know that data_10018a20 and data_10018a22 are empty unicode string initializers for std::wstring. But I can not create an empty unicode string there.
Steps To Reproduce:
- Find an empty wide string initializer
- Go to it in linear view
- Press SHIFT+a in order to convert it into wide string
- See nothing happens
- Or, change its type to wchar_t by pressing Y
- See it does not show it as wide string
Expected Behavior:
I expect it creates an empty string there and show it like this in either two way: wchar16 data_10018a20 = L""
Screenshots:
If I change type to wchar_t:

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce the issue in Binary Ninja 3.1.3751-dev on Windows using the linear view, SHIFT+a, and the Y type-change action at an empty wide-string initializer. Done means an empty initializer is recognized and displayed as a wide string such as L"".
