Hi devs,
I've just posted #10583 (http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10583) about
fixing up basicTypes/Lexeme.hs. As stated in the ticket, I'm happy to do the
hacking, but I need some advice. My most pressing question is this:
Examine the following functions, which all should do the same thing
* isVarSymChar:
https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/compiler/basicTypes/Lexeme.hs#L102
* okSymChar:
https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/compiler/basicTypes/Lexeme.hs#L215
* notFollowedBySymbol:
https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/compiler/parser/Lexer.x#L904
These functions intend to identify characters that can appear in symbolic
identifiers. They all have different implementations. Which one is right? Or is
there a better way to do this operation?
There are other questions in the ticket, but I can probably sort those out on
my own. If you can help, ideally you will respond in the ticket itself.
Many thanks!
Richard
