Fw: [Haskell-cafe] IO within parser

[Gregory Propf]

I noticed that StateT can enclose IO actions for instance.  So you are saying the whole Parsec library would need to be rewritten as something like a ParsecT transformer monad for this to work? If this is the case I suppose I will stick with returning my list of include files. - Greg

Parsec can't accomplish with without using unsafePerformIO because
it's monad is pure. it's algorithmically impossible to have any i/o
actions inside it. there was plans to rewrite Parsec in
monad-transformer way and afair it was even one of GSOC projects
