Comipling the following (test.hs)
module Main where
main
= print test
test = "uncurry f c = case c of \
\ <1> a b -> f a b;"
with `ghc -c test.hs` does not produce an error, but with `ghc -cpp -c
test.hs` I get
test.hs:7: error in character literal
Compilation had errors
It's no surprise since `ghc -cpp -E test.hs` is
{-# LINE 1 "test.hs" -}
{-# LINE 1 "test.hs" -}
module Main where
main
= print test
test = "uncurry f c = case c of \ <1> a b -> f a b;"
Using a double `\` at the beginning of the string gap circumvents this
behavior, but then of course `ghc -c test.hs` will fail.
