#5435: GHCi linker should run constructors for linked libraries -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: pumpkin | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: 3658 Blocking: | Related Tickets: #3658 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by ezyang): These patches could probably be improved by adding .ctors support for ELF, and .init/.init_array for PEi386, but I don't know how to make my GCC on the respective platforms emit those types of sections to test. They might not even be accepted by the system linker; I have no way of telling. I also have pretty reasonable test (essentially a cleaned up version of #8237) which should get added to the test suite. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5435#comment:13 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
