Hello, there was some discussion about a Haskell-friendly CPP a while ago. What happend to this project? I desperately need such a preprocessor. CPP 3.3.4, which I use now, is not usable for me because you cannot have such a simple thing like a \\ operator with it. How do others solve such problems? I cannot believe that there isn't a better way than living with all those terrible restrictions, using CPP imposes on you. Wolfgang

You just need to ensure that \\ does not appear at the end of a line. so do things like infixl 9 \\ -- Hack for CPP and it should work. John -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈

It is called cpphs, and is currently at version 0.7. I think it is feature-complete now, and has behaviour highly compatible with cpp -traditional. In particular, it avoids the problems introduced in gcc-3.x's cpp. http://haskell.org/cpphs/ Regards, Malcolm

Hello again, thank you very much for writing this tool and for giving me this information. I downloaded it and (so far) it worked brilliantly. :-) Is there any effort to package this as a Debian package? Or has this already be done? It would be very good if cpphs would enter the next stable Debian release (3.1).

Regards, Malcolm
Best regards, Wolfgang

As far as I know it hasn't been done yet.

I'm told this is still possible, so I'll have a look at it unless someone else says they already have or want to. Thanks Ian

Thanks a lot.

Malcolm Wallace implemented it... I've used it and it works fine for me. There's an announcement somewhere in the Haskell mailing lists. Here it is: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/cpphs/ #g -- At 23:18 27/09/04 +0200, Wolfgang Jeltsch wrote:
