#94: pattern match failure on Chars with Unicode codepoint >0x4ff --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: nobody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: hugs | Version: current Keywords: | --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- hi, i tested the following code in Hugs: {{{ patternMatchingWorks1 = case '\x4ff' of '\x4ff' -> True patternMatchingWorks2 = case '\x500' of '\x500' -> True patternMatchingWorks3 = f '\x4ff' where f '\x4ff' = True patternMatchingWorks4 = f '\x500' where f '\x500' = True patternMatchingWorks5 = (\'\x4ff'->True) '\x4ff' patternMatchingWorks6 = (\'\x500'->True) '\x500' }}} and got the following output: {{{ Main> :load "M:\\haskell\\sources\\WinHugsPatternMatchingBug.hs" Main> patternMatchingWorks1 True Main> patternMatchingWorks2 Program error: pattern match failure: patternMatchingWorks2_v1621 '\1280' Main> patternMatchingWorks3 True Main> patternMatchingWorks4 Program error: pattern match failure: patternMatchingWorks4_v1623 '\1280' Main> patternMatchingWorks5 True Main> patternMatchingWorks6 Program error: pattern match failure: patternMatchingWorks6_v1627 '\1280' }}} i tested it with hugs.exe and winhugs.exe (September 2006 version, i.e. the most recent according to the download page) on Windows XP Professional, both give the same result, while ghc gives the correct result.[[BR]] Pattern matching seems to fail for all Chars with codepoint >0x4ff. i understand that Hugs doesn't fully support Unicode, but is this intended behaviour? If so, please mention it on the "Hugs Bugs & Features" page. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hugs/ticket/94> Hugs <http://www.haskell.org/hugs/> Hugs 98, an interpreter for Haskell
