derivingUnbox accepts invalid constructor suffixes

Question

derivingUnbox accepts invalid constructor suffixes

Closed this issue 10 years ago · 4 comments

Despite the documentation noting the fact, it appears people are passing in arbitrary strings as the constructor suffix.

Previous GHC/TH actually accepted constructor names with spaces (yes, spaces) in them, but GHC 7.10 won't stand for that sort of shit. (And neither should we.)

But now it won't allow to use _ as part of the suffix!

Oh shi― Yes, I didn't read §2.4 Identifiers and Operators closely enough.
