Follow-up Comment #7, bug #34530 (project make): After some discussion recently by the GNU maintainers, the coding standards have been modified:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Quote-Characters.html In the C locale, the output of GNU programs should stick to plain ASCII for quotation characters in messages to users: preferably 0x22 (‘"’) or 0x27 (‘'’) for both opening and closing quotes. Although GNU programs traditionally used 0x60 (‘`’) for opening and 0x27 (‘'’) for closing quotes, nowadays quotes ‘`like this'’ are typically rendered asymmetrically, so quoting ‘"like this"’ or ‘'like this'’ typically looks better. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34530> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
