unicode yet?

[Sean McLaughlin-3]

Hi,

  The last I could find about unicode support in MLton is from 2007.  Has

any progress been made on this?  

Thanks,

Sean

Hi Sean,

What kind of unicode support are you looking for? Many/most unicode
things work fine as-is. Are you looking to directly manipulate and
analyze unicode strings?

Hi Adam,

  I'm looking for, in decreasing priority

  1) unicode in strings

     val x = "ρ" 

     does not compile in MLton.  I see there's a WideString type, but 

     I can't get MLton to accept "..." syntax for any Wide* structure.  Can you do that?

     SML/NJ does fine with the above, by the way.

 

  2) unicode identifiers

    val ρ = "ρ" 

  

   I'd really like this, but I can live without it.

   

  3) unicode constructors

  datatype t = Θ of string

  this is just because I'm greedy.

I think I'd survive with just #1.

Thanks,

Sean
