Augustin Cavalier 354b60af29 runtime_loader: Rework static initialization handling.
Previously, static initializers were just in ".ctors", which was handled
by GCC's crtbeginS, and that was injected in-between crti and crtn. Now,
however, binutils puts static initializers into init_array/fini_array by
default, which runtime_loader handles, but of course as initialize_after and
terminate_after are supposed to be called *after* all static initializers
are called; and since runtime_loader called init_array after _init, they
were not.

Now, we get rid of the __haiku_init_before/etc. functions, and move their
functionality inside runtime_loader. This is a "soft" ABI breakage,
which is mitigated by adding another ABI breakage (runtime_loader now
returns NULL for the initialize_before/etc. symbols, as otherwise
old applications would have their initialize_before/etc. called twice;
once by runtime_loader, and then once by __haiku_init_before/etc.)

I don't see or know of any reason why an application would want to
get those symbols at runtime, though, so this shouldn't have any
adverse effects.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

  • Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
  • Clean, clear, concise code.
  • Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!

Contributing code
