Comment (by guest):
Hi,
I'm running GHC Interactive, version 6.6, for Haskell 98 on a Suse Linux
9.3 Distribution.
the expression
{{{
Control.Exception.catch (Control.Exception.throw
(Control.Exception.AssertionFailed "error"))(\e -> return "caught")
}}}
evaluates to the expected value "caught". But the expression
{{{
Control.Exception.catch (return (Control.Exception.throw
(Control.Exception.AssertionFailed "error")))(\e -> return "caught")
}}}
stops with the message: "*** Exception: error
which seems to be an error (at least from my point of view).
best regards
Tobias
