How can I convince ghc version 6.5.20060919 to accept latin1 characters in literals?
I wish to keep source files (containing umlauts in strings) that can be compiled by either ghc-6.4.2 and ghc-6.6.
You can use numeric escapes like "\222".
How about resolving http://cvs.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/690 ?
I would like to simple add a flag to ghc. How about adding an addional phase (and extension) to ghc before preprocessing?
Your solution does not support good readability. Is there a ready tool that converts my source files as you suggested automatically? How does haddock handle characters in comments?
There is iconv. It could be used as a pre-processor with ghc's -F -pgmF -optF flags. Sorry there isn't a better solution at the moment. You could petition for an {-# ENCODING ISO-8859-1 #-} pragma as mentioned in that ticket. Duncan
