Learn You a Haskell has a code example like this:
ghci> B.pack [99,97,110]
Chunk "can" Empty
(B
stands for Data.ByteString.Lazy
)
But my ghci
does not show Chunk
and Empty
data constructors.
> B.pack [99,97,110]
"can"
Did Haskell developers change the way the values of ByteString
are printed?
Looks like Duncan added hand-written Show
instance for lazy ByteString
somewhere between 0.9.2.1
and 0.10.0.1
. See http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/bytestring/0.10.2.0/doc/html/src/Data-ByteString-Lazy-Internal.html#ByteString
