Invalid literal suffix

[flm8620]

Here

The single quote mark is LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK U+2018, which causes error in my compiler(VS2015).
It's better to use APOSTROPHE U+0027

Error:

Hello @flm8620

It is very interesting, I didn't even knew that stuff in a pair of " " could cause compilation problem.
I'm also surprised that our Continuous integration system is compiling sofa with VS2015 but didn't reported a problem. Maybe something related with the language you use on your system ?

Anyway, thank you very much for your report. If you have time maybe you can submit a pull-request to fix that otherwise I will do it.

The string should be properly prefixed as per the standard: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/string_literal

I know the reason. My OS is windows 8, language is French. But I have some softwares are set to Chinese.
The UFT-8 code of LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK is 0xE2 0x80 0x98.
The weird character 鈥 has code 0xE2 0x80 in GBK.
I have idea why Visual Studio use GBK instead of UTF-8.
