Chars can be encoded as ints. I guess this would be useful for the c++ backend.
A reasonable approach would be to have a special-case parser for characters that produces arrays of bit<8>
s.
Closing this for now since @tedbauer mentioned using cast to int works fine.
For the
nw
MachSuite app (Needleman–Wunsch, "a dynamic programming algorithm for optimal sequence alignment"), the input data consists of characters. (See here.) Would it be worth adding support for this?
