 */
/* `symhash` is a Hash table mapping symbol names to RtsSymbolInfo.
   This hashtable will contain information on all symbols
   that we know of, however the .o they are in may not be loaded.

   Until the ObjectCode the symbol belongs to is actually
   loaded this symbol may be replaced. So do not rely on
   addresses of unloaded symbols.

   Note [runtime-linker-phases]
   --------------------------------------
   Broadly the behavior of the runtime linker can be
   split into the following four phases:

   - Indexing (e.g. ocVerifyImage and ocGetNames)
   - Initialization (e.g. ocResolve and ocRunInit)
   - Resolve (e.g. resolveObjs())
   - Lookup (e.g. lookupSymbol)

   This is to enable lazy loading of symbols. Eager loading is problematic
   as it means that all symbols must be available, even those which we will
   never use. This is especially painful on Windows, where the number of
   libraries required to link things like mingwex grows to be quite high.

   We proceed through these stages as follows,

   * During Indexing we verify and open the ObjectCode and
     perform a quick scan/indexing of the ObjectCode. All the work
     required to actually load the ObjectCode is done.

     All symbols from the ObjectCode are also inserted into
     `symhash`, where possible duplicates are handled via the semantics
     described in `ghciInsertSymbolTable`.

     This phase will produce ObjectCode with status `OBJECT_LOADED` or `OBJECT_NEEDED`
     depending on whether they are an archive member or not.

   * During initialization we load ObjectCode, perform relocations, execute
     static constructors etc. This phase may trigger other ObjectCodes to
     be loaded because of the calls to lookupSymbol.

     This phase will produce ObjectCode with status `OBJECT_NEEDED` if the
     previous status was `OBJECT_LOADED`.

   * During resolve we attempt to resolve all the symbols needed for the
     initial link. This essentially means, that for any ObjectCode given
     directly to the command-line we perform lookupSymbols on the required
     symbols. lookupSymbols may trigger the loading of additional ObjectCode
     if required.

     This phase will produce ObjectCode with status `OBJECT_RESOLVED` if
     the previous status was `OBJECT_NEEDED`.

   * lookupSymbols is used to lookup any symbols required, both during initial
     link and during statement and expression compilations in the REPL.
     Declaration of e.g. a foreign import, will eventually call lookupSymbol
     which will either fail (symbol unknown) or succeed (and possibly trigger a
     load).

     This phase may transition an ObjectCode from `OBJECT_LOADED` to `OBJECT_RESOLVED`

   When a new scope is introduced (e.g. a new module imported) GHCi does a full re-link
   by calling unloadObj and starting over.
   When a new declaration or statement is performed ultimately lookupSymbol is called
   without doing a re-link.

   The goal of these different phases is to allow the linker to be able to perform
   "lazy loading" of ObjectCode. The reason for this is that we want to only link
   in symbols that are actually required for the link. This reduces:

   1) Dependency chains, if A.o required a .o in libB but A.o isn't required to link
      then we don't need to load libB. This means the dependency chain for libraries
      such as mingw32 and mingwex can be broken down.

   2) The number of duplicate symbols, since now only symbols that are
      true duplicates will display the error.

 -------------------------------------
 While ghciInsertSymbolTable does implement extensive

 support which uses the weak symbols support.

 Linking weak symbols defined purely in C code with other C code
 should also work, probably. Observing weak symbols in Haskell
 won't.

 Some test have been written for weak symbols but have been disabled
 mostly because it's unsure how the weak symbols support should look.

  Note [RTLD_LOCAL]

  In GHCi we want to be able to override previous .so's with newly

  when we look up a symbol in internal_dlsym() we have to iterate
  through the loaded libraries (in order from most recently loaded to
  oldest) looking up the symbol in each one until we find it.

  However, this can cause problems for some symbols that are copied
  by the linker into the executable image at runtime - see #8935 for a
  lengthy discussion.  To solve that problem we need to look up
  symbols in the main executable *first*, before attempting to look
  them up in the loaded .so's.  But in order to make that work, we
  have to always call dlopen with RTLD_LOCAL, so that the loaded
  libraries don't populate the global symbol table.
