Re: Proposal: Improve Read Integer

The current behaviour is consistent with how Haskell tokenizes at the source level. I find this easy to remember, and I would be surprised if read behaved the way you suggest. -- Lennart On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 8:34 PM, Ian Lynagh wrote:

Currently, according to H98, H2010, GHC and hugs,    reads "1.2" :: [(Integer, String)] is    [] whereas I would expect it to be    [(1,".2")]

Patch: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/attachment/ticket/4500/read-integer.dpat...

Suggested deadline: 1 Dec 2010.

Thanks Ian
