deh_end

[Ellery Newcomer]

So I'm all trying out this hot new shared switch, and it works just 
dandy for -m32 when d has the main function. But now I want to be able 
to call my shared lib from C.

my little shared lib, tup.d:


import std.stdio;
extern(C) void xyz(int i){
     writeln(i);
}


compiled like so:

dmd -shared -m32 tup.d -oflibtup.so

my little C program, tok.c:

extern void xyz(int);

int main(int argc, char **argv){
     xyz(1);
}


compiled like so:

gcc -m32 tok.c -L. -ltup

Oh no!

./libtup.so: undefined reference to `_deh_beg'
./libtup.so: undefined reference to `_tlsend'
./libtup.so: undefined reference to `_tlsstart'
./libtup.so: undefined reference to `_deh_end'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


It seems like I've run into this before with static libs, but I'll ask 
again anyways. What the heck are these symbols for?

looking in druntime, I find

extern (C)
{
     extern __gshared
     {
         void* _deh_beg;
         void* _deh_end;
     }

So I guess I have to put those in tok.c? And then start druntime?

Okay, fine. add

void *_deh_beg;
void *_deh_end;
__thread void *_tlsstart;
__thread void *_tlsend;

to tok.c

Then everything compiles, but a.out segfaults. I guess it didn't start 
druntime on its own.

so add to tup.d

extern shared bool _D2rt6dmain212_d_isHaltingOb;
alias _D2rt6dmain212_d_isHaltingOb _d_isHalting;
extern(C) {

     void rt_init();
     void rt_term();

     void _init() {
         rt_init();
     }

     void _fini() {
         if(!_d_isHalting){
             rt_term();
         }
     }

}

then dmd complains about _fini and _init being multiply defined. what to do?
