#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 RyanGlScott): It looks like I might have jumped the gun on this a bit too early! That's okay, though—let's figure out what exactly needs to change. It looks like people want Space/uniWhite in strings, which GHC already allows, so no changes are needed there. At least one person has expressed the desire for inclusion of Format in string and Space uniWhite in string gaps, so unless anyone has any objections, should we push to make GHC as inclusive as possible w.r.t. Unicode? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8524#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
