upstream the win32 console text support to GHC #47

Closed jmn closed 5 years ago

jmn commented 7 years ago

There's a bunch of issues on GHC's Trac regarding hPutChar crashing on Win32 - which seems to have been solved in Haskeline. Is there any possibility of upstreaming the code in Haskeline to GHC?

Can you post a link to those GHC issues? I did a quick search but wasn't sure which one(s) you were referring to.

The reason these are not issues in Haskeline is because it uses WriteConsoleW, which is the only correct way to write to a Windows console.

Closing since, as mentioned above, these issues don't appear to be related specifically to Haskeline, and/or appear to be fixed upstream; e.g. ghc: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4471#comment:29
