Category: None Group: 5.04 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: ioeGetErrorString Initial Comment: >From my understanding the Haskell reports, ioeGetErrorString should return the failure string. To quote: For "user" errors (those which are raised using fail), the string returned by ioeGetErrorString is the argument that was passed to fail On version 5.04, compiled under SunOS, ioeGetErrorString seems to return the result of `show`ing this string. Compiling and running: > > import IO > > main = fail "foo\ngoo" `catch` (putStrLn . ioeGetErrorString) > results in: "foo\ngoo" as opposed to: foo goo Thanks, Gordon [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Simon Marlow (simonmar) Date: 2002-09-19 12:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=48280 Fixed in 5.04.1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=108032&aid=611512&group_id=8032 _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
