Currently I have a single module that provides reading operations for Integers and Ints. I'm not quite sure what to do with it.
Get it into base! Where it is, or what its called is less relevant - perhaps entirely decoupled from the Read class, and I wouldn't have thought reading octal integers etc was useful - just simple bog standard integers. I'd really like just readInt/readInteger in Numeric, or Prelude, or possibly even a new Read style module.
i'd just defined the following function, mainly because standard 'read' machinery occupies whole 50 kb in exe-file readI = foldl f 0 where f m c | isDigit c = fromIntegral (ord c - ord '0') + (m * 10) | otherwise = error ("Non-digit "++[c]++" in readI") -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
