Rather than have main() be statically compiled as part of the RTS, we
now generate it into the tiny C file that we compile when linking a
binary.
The main motivation is that we want to pass the settings for the
-rtsotps and -with-rtsopts flags into the RTS, rather than relying on
fragile linking semantics to override the defaults, which don't work
with DLLs on Windows (#5373). In order to do this, we need to extend
the API for initialising the RTS, so now we have:
void hs_init_ghc (int *argc, char **argv[], // program arguments
RtsConfig rts_config); // RTS configuration
hs_init_ghc() can optionally be used instead of hs_init(), and allows
passing in configuration options for the RTS. RtsConfig is a struct,
which currently has two fields:
typedef struct {
RtsOptsEnabledEnum rts_opts_enabled;
const char *rts_opts;
} RtsConfig;
but might have more in the future. There is a default value for the
struct, defaultRtsConfig, the idea being that you start with this and
override individual fields as necessary.
In fact, main() was in a separate static library, libHSrtsmain.a.
That's now gone.
