:: String -> Int is:exact -package:string-conversions -package:speculate -package:hxt -package:safe -package:ghc -package:gpolyline -package:Cabal-syntax -package:express

Returns the display width of a string. Assumes all characters with unknown widths are 0 width.
Alias for realLength.
Like strWidth, but also strips ANSI escape sequences before calculating the width. This is no longer used in code, as widths are calculated before adding ANSI escape sequences, but is being kept around for now.
Given a number encoded in Locator16, convert it back to an integer.
Get the hash of a string. This util is currently used to generate an Int used for the internal pattern variable representation from the external pattern variable representation (String)
Raises an error with a printf-specific prefix on the message string.
Like the function error, but appends a stack trace to the error message if one is available.
Raises a SizeOverflowException, with a message using the given function name.
The error used in fixpointToFinal, runFixpoint and runFixpointM when the result of a failed computation is recursively used and somehow visible. You may use this for your own Fixpoint interpreters. The argument should be the name of the interpreter.
Alias for errorWithoutStackTrace (for base >= 4.9)
stop execution and displays an error message
raise a fatal internal error; message may have multiple lines
Same as error but will make HDL generation fail if included in the final circuit. This is useful for the error case of static assertions. Note that the error message needs to be a literal, and during HDL generation the error message does not include a stack trace, so it had better be descriptive.
