#1277: illegal chars accepted in literal strings
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Compiler | Version: 6.6
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: Easy (1 hr) | Testcase:
Architecture: Multiple | Os: Multiple
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Ghc accepts literal tab characters inside literal strings, even though
these are not permitted by Haskell'98.
Example:
Prelude> "^I"
"\t"
Prelude>
Other compilers correctly reject them:
nhc98> "^I"
Error at line 1, column 2: Tab in literal string/char. Use \t instead.
