Hi,
From the System.IO export list:
#ifdef __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ openTempFile, openBinaryTempFile, #endif
So we have a standardised module with a standardised interface which is totally broken on all but one compiler.
Can this please be either:
1) Implemented for all compilers 2) Removed, and then potentially re-added by the proper libraries submission process
I hope the new libraries submission process will stop things like this being added in future, without appropriate thought.
Isn't it just a bug that these functions are not implemented by other compilers? There's no fundamental reason, right? The implementation is necessarily dependent on the internals of Handle because openFile doesn't currently provide a way to open a file and fail if it already exists (the O_EXCL flag). Cheers, Simon
