how to use types from std like std::wstring

[ToufouMaster]

Im unable to use std::wstring in my Types
everytime i try to do it i get this

error: sources.hpp:4:2 use of undeclared identifier 'std'

struct ScalableFont __packed
{
	std::wstring test;
};

That's the code i'm using to create my type and i can't figure out what's wrong with my code.

This answer is assuming you have already defined a std::wstring type.

struct `std::wstring` {
	size_t len;
	wchar_t start[1]; // really a length of `len`.
};

struct Test {
	`std::wstring` my_string;
};

Binary Ninja does not support namespaces in type names (the type system was designed around C types). To create and use a type with the :: syntax you must encapsulate the name in a backtick.

Relevant documentation: https://docs.binary.ninja/guide/types/type.html?h=backtick#special-characters
