MagicHash literals can be negative
Summary
The MagicHash
section of GHC user's guide states
In general, any Haskell integer lexeme followed by a
#
is anInt#
literal, e.g.-0x3A#
as well as32#
.
But the given -0x3A#
literal is not a valid Haskell integer lexeme, not without the NegativeLiterals
extension. So the sentence is contradictory when read literally.
Proposed improvements or changes
Add a clarification:
MagicHash
numeric literals can be negative even in the absence of theNegativeLiterals
extension.
