How do I get the OverloadedStrings language extension working?
I've enabled overloaded strings, but I can't get them to work:
$ cat overloadedstrings.hs
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import qualified Data.ByteString as B
import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy as BL
lazy :: BL.ByteString
lazy = "I'm a lazy ByteString"
strict :: B.ByteString
strict = "I'm a strict ByteString"
$ ghci
GHCi, version 6.12.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help

Prelude> :l overloadedstrings.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( overloadedstrings.hs, interpreted )
overloadedstrings.hs:7:7:
No instance for (Data.String.IsString BL.ByteString)
arising from the literal `"I'm a lazy ByteString"'
at overloadedstrings.hs:7:7-29
Possible fix:
add an instance declaration for
(Data.String.IsString BL.ByteString)
In the expression: "I'm a lazy ByteString"
In the definition of `lazy': lazy = "I'm a lazy ByteString"
overloadedstrings.hs:10:9:
No instance for (Data.String.IsString B.ByteString)
arising from the literal `"I'm a strict ByteString"'
at overloadedstrings.hs:10:9-33
Possible fix:
add an instance declaration for (Data.String.IsString B.ByteString)
In the expression: "I'm a strict ByteString"
In the definition of `strict': strict = "I'm a strict ByteString"
Failed, modules loaded: none.
Where do I import the IsString
instances for ByteString
from? Shouldn't this happen aut开发者_JS百科omatically? What am I doing wrong?
You need to import the .Char8
modules, such as Data.ByteString.Char8
and Data.ByteString.Lazy.Char8
