thorpej 4abcdae85e Enable the new (working) .init/.fini magic. 2001-07-17 03:56:48 +00:00
ross 2d62241cb9 Reorganization of crtbegin/crtend.
o  Primary mod: alpha and i386 code for .init and .fini section fallthroughs
o  Actual fallthru is not yet enabled, see csu/{alpha,i386_elf}/Makefile
o  When enabled, should fix bin/12865 & should fix at least one WINE bug,
   see http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2001/05/0021.html
o  Also, removed the function pointer hack put in to prevent gcc from
   incorrectly attempting to do short calls over section boundaries,
   on some architectures, rather, simply simply move ctors() and dtors()
   into .init and .fini.
Other notes.
o  Our crtbegin.c and crtend.c were completely in C, despite
   the fact that .init and .fini section fallthroughs require machine code.
   These modules implement the gnu ctors/dtors mechanism directly, eliminating
   in part the need for the elf .init/.fini section fallthrough. However,
   if we ever want to use the gnu-provided constructor support, we need to
   do the fallthrough, at least one program (WINE) apparently uses the
   feature independently, and other compilers may depend on the mechanism.
o  It is amusing that the previous NetBSD _init() and _fini() were put
   into the .init and .fini sections, because nothing is gained over
   plain .text if they don't fall through. Cargo cult!
o  Other elf ports will need to copy the alpha and i386 example mods.

thorpej cb3c96c11e Pull together common Makefile fragments for ELF crt0 files, and use it
across the board.

thorpej 3f196ccbc8 Put a good chunk of code common to all ELF crt0.c files into a common
location, and use it.

thorpej 4216363b47 Move crtbegin.c and crtend.c from alpha subdir to common_elf subdir via
repository copy, remove all redundant copies of these files, and make all
ELF platforms use the common versions.
