#8524: GHC is inconsistent with the Haskell Report on which Unicode characters are allowed in string and character literals -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: oerjan | Owner: | RyanGlScott Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 (Parser) | Resolution: | Keywords: newcomer Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: GHC rejects | Unknown/Multiple valid program | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: Phab:D1235 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): My "Me" column would go Dunno, Yes, Yes. Particularly for the second case (Space/uniWhite in string), I don't see how allowing it would cause much harm and there may well be people using this behavior already. Maybe it would be better to just document this deviation from the Report? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8524#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
