Don't run static constructors on arbitrary user exports. - #328
Merged
Conversation
Previously, "new-style commmands" considered every user-defined export to be a potential command entrypoint, so wasi-libc and wasm-ld cooperated to run the user's static constructors on each entrypoint. This form of new-style command turned out not to be useful, and it interferes with some use cases, so disable it. This is done by making an explicit call to `__wasm_call_ctors`, which tells wasm-ld that it shouldn't synthesize any calls to `__wasm_call_ctors` on its own.
