[PATCH v15 0/4] MR9265: crt: Run MSVC constructors and destructors
There are several motivations to enable ctor/dtor support: 1. ASan. This is not just about my wine-asan work, this is important for @bernhardu's PE asan work as well. The compiler generates ctors that poisons memory around global variables so misuses of them can be caught. This is the same both of our implementations of ASan. 2. Building third-party codebases against wine's CRT. This is not necessary for mingw-gcc or llvm-mingw, but the MSVC frontend of clang is another option for cross-compiling to Windows. However right now that requires Windows SDK. Bringing wine CRT to the point of being functional enough will give us another option. Could be useful for things like Proton. 3. (Controversial) Many dlls perform init/deinit tasks in `DllMain`. Some of them might benefit from a conversion to ctor/dtor. Since nothing in wine uses ctor/dtor right now, this change shouldn't have any impact by itself. -- v15: crt: Run MSVC constructors and destructors. winecrtend: Add a static lib for hosting fallback initterm implementations. winegcc: Merge .CRT sections for windows targets. winebuild: Generate start and end symbols for .CRT sections. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9265

Maybe I am missing something, but I thought the argument against ntdll is that we shouldn't export symbols that native doesn't, which doesn't apply to winecrtend.

The more general argument is against adding unecessary complexity. We don't need to add a whole new crt static lib to import two trivial functions that can be easily inlined instead.
