Description Hans Lub 2005-07-25 07:44:03 UTC

The latest hugs release (March 2005) had a few issues, most notably with binary
file I/O. A patched version is available at
http://cvs.haskell.org/Hugs/downloads/Mar2005/. Please update the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. The following Haskell program will make hugs write '?' characters instead of
the upper half of the ASCII table. 

test = do
   let myAsciiTable =  ['\x0'..'\xff']
   handle <- openBinaryFile "test" WriteMode
   hPutStr handle myAsciiTable
   hClose handle

Thanks for pointing this out Hans. I've added hugs98-2005.3-r1 with this patch.
Please re-open this bug if anything doesn't work.

Hmm, we should really try to get this marked stable soon.
