In the broader scheme, it seems perverse to be using CPP in the first place. I use it to configure imports and exports, e.g. to swap out a driver backend on different OSes, and to export more symbols when testing. Would it make sense to have a haskell version of CPP that provides only these features (e.g. just #ifdef, #else, #endif, and #define) and leaves out the problematic C comments and backslash expectations?
You mean http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cpphs ? (although I think it may still do some of that stuff, it does far less than ANSI demands) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
