Subject: Bad representation of open- and close-quotation marks on perl5.test-smoke.org
Today I ran a smoke test on my Debian Linux Linode, reported at http://perl5.test-smoke.org/report/63643. There were compiler warnings during 'make'; the compiler is gcc-4.9.2. Here's an excerpt from 'smokecurrent.log': ##### 10-In file included from perl.h:5289:0, 11- from regcomp.c:75: 12-regcomp.c: In function ‘S_grok_bslash_N’: 13:embed.h:603:34: warning: ‘substitute_parse’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] 14- #define sv_catpvn_flags(a,b,c,d) Perl_sv_catpvn_flags(aTHX_ a,b,c,d) 15- ^ 16-regcomp.c:12312:10: note: ‘substitute_parse’ was declared here -- 1448-In file included from ../../perl.h:5289:0, 1449- from re_comp.c:75: 1450-re_comp.c: In function ‘S_grok_bslash_N’: 1451:../../embed.h:603:34: warning: ‘substitute_parse’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] 1452- #define sv_catpvn_flags(a,b,c,d) Perl_sv_catpvn_flags(aTHX_ a,b,c,d) 1453- ^ 1454-re_comp.c:12312:10: note: ‘substitute_parse’ was declared here ##### Note the open-quote and close-quote characters. If I run this excerpt through 'od -c', I see that these characters in octal are: ##### ‘ 0342 0200 0230 ’ 0342 0200 0231 ##### perl5.test-smoke.org has trouble representing these characters. The open-quote and close-quote characters are represented as lower-case 'a' with a circumflex. (I'll try to attach a screenshot.) Is there any way that we can better represent these characters once they hit the web page -- where better means "something that looks like quotation marks or apostrophes"? Thank you very much.

This has to do with CoreSmokeDB, I've created an issue on Github: https://github.com/abeltje/CoreSmokeDB/issues/5
