Yes, since it has to run the pre-processor before it can look at the
imports.

I have spent the past week writing Fortress code (which runs in

that we have now with ascii.


In Fortress we spent a *lot* of effort making the "TWiki" syntax as  
painless as possible for stuff which we planned to use often (for  
example, -> and => turn into Unicode arrows, and the language syntax  
is defined in terms of them).  One source of both encouragement and  
frustration is the fact that every unicode code point has an  
associated description.  We support using these descriptions---and  
various shortenings of them, since they are too verbose for day-to- 
day use.  The frustration is that the names or their shortenings are  
not necessarily unique.  For characters which only occur in strings  
this is less critical, but a little effort will go a long way.


One heuristic we've used is: "if I do a diff on the ASCII  
representation provided by my version control system, will I be able  
to read the result?"


We of course have a little program which processes an official  
unicode character table (downloaded from the web) plus some  
information about our special cases and uses it to generate the  
appropriate conversion functions.  This is important because Unicode  
is constantly changing (mostly getting bigger).

currently haddock correctly translates latin1 chars, ie. äöü to

So it would be nice if also ghc-6.6 could remain backward compatible by
supporting latin1 sources.

Section 3.8.3 of the Haddock manual:

3.8.3. Character references

Although Haskell source files may contain any character from the
Unicode character set, the encoding of these characters as bytes
varies between systems, so that only source files restricted to
the ASCII character set are portable. Other characters may be
specified in character and string literals using Haskell character
escapes. To represent such characters in documentation comments,
Haddock supports SGML-style numeric character references of the
forms &#D; and &#xH; where D and H are decimal and hexadecimal
numbers denoting a code position in Unicode (or ISO 10646).
For example, the references λ, λ and λ all
represent the lower-case letter lambda.

Not pretty, but it is portable and not limited to the Latin-1 subset.

Another possibility is quasi-utf8 encoding. where it passes through any
invalid utf8 sequences as latin1 characters. in practice, this works
very well as interpreting both latin1 and utf8 transparently but is
more than somewhat hacky. perhaps we can have quasi-utf8 be the default,

Fair enough, but there will have to be some way to specify the encoding,

The easiest way for us to handle encodings other than UTF-8 is for it to

Haddock needs to be updated too.  But if GHC implements recoding via 
iconv, you can use GHC as a preprocesor to recode back to Latin-1; since 
you have to use GHC as a preprocessor with Haddock anyway, this 
shouldn't be much harder (of course, if you use non-Latin-1 characters 
this fails).  Eventually, when Haddock runs on top of GHC, the issue 
will go away :)


I don't know about DrIFT.

I'm not amused to change the encoding of many haskell source files 
(particular of those that are not mine).


These files can then no longer be compiled by earlier ghcs (though I 
don't understand, how ghc-6.4.1 recognises the lexical error).


I'm tempted to replace "ä" bei "\228" in literals. What does haddock do 
with utf-8 in comments? Will DrIFT -- using read- and writeFile -- still 
work correctly?

GHC is now expected source files to be UTF-8 only.  I really did this as 
an experiment to see if anyone complained, because it will be more work 
to implement other encodings.  You're the second person to notice this. 
 So - do you need Latin-1, or could you use UTF-8?


If you're using emacs, it's pretty easy to default to UTF-8 for haskell 
source files, BTW.  Just add this to your .emacs:


(modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.l?hs\\'" 'utf-8)

UTF-8 decoding error

2006-02-02 Thread Christian Maeder

Hi,

with ghc-6.5.20060201 I get a "UTF-8 decoding error" for latin1 
characters in my string literals.


Do I have to change my sources or can I set a certain environment variable?

I have [EMAIL PROTECTED] and LC_CTYPE not set (which is ok for hugs)

Cheers Christian
