Comment(by maeder): Before you call read for Integer you can/should check if your string has at least one and only digits. Calling read is currently just as risky as calling "{{{^}}}" yourself. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5688#comment:21> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
