#10092: lex doesn't handle binary literals -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: ekmett Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Core Libraries | Version: 7.10.1-rc2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | BinaryLiterals report-impact Type of failure: Incorrect result | Architecture: at runtime | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: #9224 | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by ekmett): Given that `read` and `show` should have portable behavior across implementations, it seems to me that we should _not_ support binary literals in `read`/`lex`. Otherwise we invite the endless waves of portability problems that ensue from the "be liberal in what you accept, strict in what you output" dogma. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10092#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
