-- | Utilities for dealing with constructors/destructors. module GHC.Cmm.InitFini ( InitOrFini(..) , isInitOrFiniArray ) where import GHC.Prelude import GHC.Cmm.CLabel import GHC.Cmm import GHC.Utils.Panic import GHC.Utils.Outputable {- Note [Initializers and finalizers in Cmm] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Most platforms support some mechanism for marking a procedure to be run when a program is loaded (in which case the procedure is known as an "initializer", "constructor", or "ctor") or unloaded (a "finalizer", "deconstructor", or "dtor"). For instance, on ELF platforms pointers to initializer and finalizer functions are listed in .init_array and .fini_array sections, which are traversed by libc during program startup and shutdown. In GHC-generated code, initializers are used for a few things: * registration of cost-centres and cost-centre stacks for profiling * registration of info-table provenance entries * registration of ticky tickers * registration of HPC ticks All of these initializers are implemented as C functions, emitted by the compiler as ForeignStubs. Consequently the GHC.Types.ForeignStubs.CStub type carries with it lists of functions which should be marked as initializers or finalizers. These initializer and finalizer lists are then turned into CmmData declarations which are fed to the backend. These declarations are distinguished by their Section (e.g. InitArray or FiniArray) and consist of an array of words, where each word is a pointer to an initializer/finalizer function. Since this is the same form that most platforms expect initializer or finalizer lists to appear in assembler, the NCG backends naturally emit the appropriate assembler. However, for non-NCG backends (e.g. the C and LLVM backends) these initializer/finalizer list declarations need to be detected and dealt with appropriately. We provide isInitOrFiniArray to distinguish such declarations and turn them back into a list of CLabels. On Windows initializers/finalizers are a bit tricky due to the inability to merge objects (due to the lld linker's lack of `-r` support on Windows; see Note [Object merging] in GHC.Driver.Pipeline.Execute) since we instead must package foreign stubs into static archives. However, the linker is free to not include any constituent objects of a static library in the final object code if nothing depends upon them. Consequently, we must ensure that the initializer list for a module is defined in the module's object code, not its foreign stubs. This happens naturally with the plan laid out above. Note that we maintain the invariant that at most one initializer and one finalizer CmmDecl will be emitted per module. -} data InitOrFini = IsInitArray | IsFiniArray isInitOrFiniArray :: RawCmmDecl -> Maybe (InitOrFini, [CLabel]) isInitOrFiniArray (CmmData sect (CmmStaticsRaw _ lits)) | Just initOrFini <- isInitOrFiniSection sect = Just (initOrFini, map get_label lits) where get_label :: CmmStatic -> CLabel get_label (CmmStaticLit (CmmLabel lbl)) = lbl get_label static = pprPanic "isInitOrFiniArray: invalid entry" (ppr static) isInitOrFiniArray _ = Nothing isInitOrFiniSection :: Section -> Maybe InitOrFini isInitOrFiniSection (Section InitArray _) = Just IsInitArray isInitOrFiniSection (Section FiniArray _) = Just IsFiniArray isInitOrFiniSection _ = Nothing
