data Lexeme

Haskell lexemes.

Constructors

Char Char | Character literal
String String | String literal, with escapes interpreted
Punc String | Punctuation or reserved symbol, e.g. `(`, `::`
Ident String | Haskell identifier, e.g. `foo`, `Baz`
Symbol String | Haskell symbol, e.g. `>>`, `:%`
Int Integer | Integer literal
Rat Rational | Floating point literal
EOF |

Instances

Eq Lexeme |
Read Lexeme |
Show Lexeme |

lex :: ReadP Lexeme

hsLex :: ReadP String

Haskell lexer: returns the lexed string, rather than the lexeme

lexChar :: ReadP Char

readIntP :: Num a => a -> (Char -> Bool) -> (Char -> Int) -> ReadP a

readOctP :: Num a => ReadP a

readDecP :: Num a => ReadP a

readHexP :: Num a => ReadP a
