+ * Note [Initializers and finalizers (PEi386)]
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ * COFF/PE allows an object to define initializers and finalizers to be run
+ * at load/unload time, respectively. These are listed in the `.ctors` and
+ * `.dtors` sections. Moreover, these section names may be sufficed with an
+ * integer priority (e.g. `.ctors.1234`). Sections are run in order of
+ * increasing priority. Sections without a priority (e.g. `.ctors`) are run
+ * last.
+ *
+ * A `.ctors`/`.dtors` section contains an array of pointers to
+ * `init_t`/`fini_t` functions, respectively. Note that `.ctors` must be run in
+ * reverse order.
+ *
+ * For more about how the code generator emits initializers and finalizers see
+ * Note [Initializers and finalizers in Cmm] in GHC.Cmm.InitFini.
