#5435: GHCi linker should run constructors for linked libraries -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: pumpkin | Owner: Type: bug | Status: infoneeded 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: 7746, 8199 | Related Tickets: #3658 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by ezyang): See, what I don't understand is why the dynamic case isn't working; it shouldn't be exercising any of our code. OK, what happens when you run this set of commands? {{{ ezyang@javelin:~/Dev/ghc-build-july/testsuite/tests/rts$ objdump -h T5435_c_dyn.o T5435_c_dyn.o: file format elf64-x86-64 Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .text 00000048 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000040 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, READONLY, CODE 1 .data 00000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000088 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA 2 .bss 00000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000088 2**2 ALLOC 3 .rodata 00000022 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000088 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA 4 .init_array 00000010 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000000b0 2**3 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, DATA 5 .comment 0000002b 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000000c0 2**0 CONTENTS, READONLY 6 .note.GNU-stack 00000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000000eb 2**0 CONTENTS, READONLY 7 .eh_frame 00000058 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000000f0 2**3 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, READONLY, DATA ezyang@javelin:~/Dev/ghc-build-july/testsuite/tests/rts$ objdump -s -j .init_array T5435_c_dyn.o T5435_c_dyn.o: file format elf64-x86-64 Contents of section .init_array: 0000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................ ezyang@javelin:~/Dev/ghc-build-july/testsuite/tests/rts$ objdump -r -j .init_array T5435_c_dyn.o T5435_c_dyn.o: file format elf64-x86-64 RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.init_array]: OFFSET TYPE VALUE 0000000000000000 R_X86_64_64 .text 0000000000000008 R_X86_64_64 .text+0x0000000000000024 }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5435#comment:25 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
