#11170: (read ".9") :: Double unable to parse -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: varosi | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Core Libraries | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Read, report- | impact Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect result | Unknown/Multiple at runtime | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by varosi): I have already written my own Attoparsec parser for that. For me at first sight it was a bug, because I used to use ".[decimal]" for floats on other languages. Okay, thank you for the thorough research about it! For all those reasons it seems that current implementation is the right way to be done in Haskell. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11170#comment:16 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
