This noncompliant code example concatenates wide and narrow string literals. Although the behavior is undefined in this case, the programmer probably intended to create a wide string literal.

wchar_t *msg = L"This message is very long, so I want to divide it "
                "into two parts.";

...

If the concatenated string needs to be a wide string literal, each element in the concatenation must be a wide string literal, as in this compliant solution.

wchar_t *msg = L"This message is very long, so I want to divide it "
               L"into two parts.";

If wide string literals are unnecessary, it is better to use narrow string literals, as in this compliant solution.

char *msg = "This message is very long, so I want to divide it "
            "into two parts.";
