#2507: quotation characters in error messages -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Isaac Dupree | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: lowest | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 6.8.3 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #2811,#3398 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by pacak): Benefits: Looks pretty. Disadvantages: If LANG is not set any attempts of reading ghc output by a haskell program you get this instead: `hGetContents: invalid argument (invalid byte sequence)` I think I've wasted much more time debugging this problem (in my scenario things are still broken) than actually looking at those pretty quotes. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2507#comment:37 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
