Comment(by igloo):
Thanks Malcolm, quite right. I've attached a patch to fix this.
However, the build breaks when compiling dph, as dph uses the Cabal auto-
generated header files in Haskell files, which end up containing something
like
{{{
/* DO NOT EDIT: This file is automatically generated by Cabal */
/* package array-0.3.0.0 */
/* package base-4.3.0.0 */
/* package dph-base-0.4.0 */
module Data.Array.Parallel.Lifted.Instances
}}}
They could be switched to use Haskell comments, but I don't know if being
able to include them in C files is also important; Duncan?
The fix to this will be easy, once we work out what the desired behaviour
is...
