Is it already a known problem that the preprocessor cannot cope with the whole set of possible string declarations?
The cpp is a *C* preprocessor, and if it has been written to adhere to the C standard, it is required to diagnose tokens that are not valid C preprocessing tokens (such as string literals that do not end before the end of a line). As such, this is unsurprising.
It would probably make most sense to make cpphs the (only) preprocessor used with -cpp instead of using whatever *C* preprocessor happens to be in the path.
I have added an option to jhc to allow 'm4' as a preprocessor. (-fm4), I have found it to play much nicer with haskell than cpp and is signifigantly more powerful. perhaps other compilers could do likewise? I invoke it with changequote({{,}}) at the beginning which seems to work well for haskell. John -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈
