In Bushnell and Henniart's *The Local Langland's Conjecture for GL(2)* they define a right Haar integral on a locally profinite group $G$ as being a non-zero linear functional $$ I: C^{\infty}_{c}(G) \to \mathbb{C}, $$ where the space on the left is the space of all locally constant complex valued functions with compact support on $G$, that satisfies the conditions: 1. $I(\rho_{g}f) = I(f)$ where $\rho_{g}$ is right translation by $g \in G$, $f \in C^{\infty}_{c}(G)$. 2. $I(f) \geq 0$ for $f \geq 0$. I assume the ordering in the second condition implies that this condition applies to only functions taking real values (otherwise what could it possibly mean), but does this mean that a Haar integral is required to take real valued functions to real numbers, or is it the case that a linear functional on this space must take real values on real functions (possibly conditional on (1))?
