[PATCH] fix invalid suffix on literal compilation errors with graal-jvmci-8

[Doug Simon]

Hi Mauro,

Thanks for the patch. The JVMCI code in GraalVM is based on upstream hotspot repositories so we follow the coding guidelines established for the HotSpot code base. As far as I understand, the HotSpot group has not adopted C++11 and until they do, we need to stick with the current style.

That said, we are in the process of moving away from JVMCI as a suite dependency and towards providing JDK binaries that include JVMCI. For JDK8, this means we will be providing binary bundles (location yet to be determined). For JDK9, one will simply download a binary from https://jdk9.java.net/download/.
