#12884: Parsing of literate files fails because of special character (#) -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bales | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 (Parser) | Keywords: literate | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: GHC rejects Unknown/Multiple | valid program Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- A sharp sign (#) in the documentation part of a literate haskell file causes the parser to fail. As I understand it, any line that doesn't start with a greater-than sign should be ignored. {{{#!hs #+
module Empty where }}}
The previous code leads to the following error: with ghc-7.8.3: Bug.lhs:1:2: lexical error at character '+'[[BR]] with ghc-8.0.1: Bug.lhs:1:1: error: parse error on input ‘#+’ -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12884 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
