#14876: Reading source files in text mode so that we get CRLF conversion under Windows? -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: SimonHengel | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- According to https://github.com/sol/interpolate/issues/9 the string passed to a quasi quoter contains CRLF line endings. I have observed the same things for Haddock comments (both in `haddock` and `doctest` when extracted through the GHC API). I haven't looked at any GHC code, but wouldn't the right thing be to read source files in text mode so that we get newline conversion? If we don't want / can't do that for some reason, then wouldn't we still want to handle this somewhere deep down the stack so that not every client has to deal with it separately? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14876 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
