#11170: (read ".9") :: Double unable to parse -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: varosi | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Prelude | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: Read | Operating System: Windows Architecture: x86_64 | Type of failure: Incorrect result (amd64) | at runtime Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- For most languages ".9" is a floating point number equal to 0.9, but in GHC this is unparsable. I don't know if it is by design, but it was unexpected by me. I think that it is good this to be valid parsable to Double string.
