#14872: Hex Literals in GHC Core -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: andrewthad | Owner: andrewthad Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: lowest | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.2 Resolution: | Keywords: newcomer Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by Ben Gamari <ben@…>): In [changeset:"a00b88b9a27736c9c41f1921fcb6b7759ad8425e/ghc" a00b88b/ghc]: {{{ #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc" revision="a00b88b9a27736c9c41f1921fcb6b7759ad8425e" Implement -dword-hex-literals Provide flag for showing showing Word# and Word64# as hexadecimal when dumping GHC core. The only affects Word, not Int, and it prefixes the hexadecimal with enough zeroes to make the total character count a power of two. For example: - 0x0C0C instead of 0xC0C - 0x00BA00BA instead of 0xBA00BA This also affects the presentation of Word# and Word64# in GHC's error messages. It is not expected that the flag will be used for this, but it is a side-effect worth noting.
