#7612: Automatically start the haskell runtime in DllMain on windows -shared ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: schyler | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.1 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Os: Windows | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Testcase: | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Changes (by simonmar): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: You're looking at a very old version of the docs, the latest is here: [http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/win32-dlls.html]. Note in particular that you cannot initialise Haskell from `DllMain()`, and the function to call is `hs_init`, not `startupHaskell`. I'm not sure if it's possible to do what you want. You can't call `hs_init` from `DllMain`, and you can't create a thread that will call it later. So I'll close this ticket, but if you think it can be done please re-open and describe how. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7612#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
