Re: [Haskell-cafe] error on "--++ bla bla bla"

30 Sep 2009


      Nowhere any Haskell book mentioned "line comments start with "-- ", not just
"--"." It is just people usually put "-- " ahead of comments.

I can successfully compile "--print bla bla bla."

Hi,
I got an error if one of lines reads "--++ bla bla bla" where I tried to
comment, but "-- ++ bla bla bla" (notice the space after "--") is OK.
Do you think this revealed a tiny bug in the GHC compiler (I am using
Windows Haskell Platform 2009.2.0.2)?
Line comments start with "-- ", not just "--".
