Incorrect documentation for Windows dlls
The documentation for creating Windows dlls (http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.4.1/html/users_guide/win32-dlls.html) was originally taken from my blog (http://neilmitchell.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/haskell-dlls-on-windows.html). Unfortunately the translation dropped one line. My blog reads:
// Initialize Haskell runtime
char** args = argv;
hs_init(&argc, &args);
// Tell Haskell about all root modules
hs_add_root(__stginit_Adder);But the docs omit the call to hs_add_root. I was emailed by Jonas Fager who had problems producing a dll because of this documentation problem.
