    FIX #1418 (partially) · 23e5985c
    Simon Marlow authored
    When the con_desc field of an info table was made into a relative
    reference, this had the side effect of making the profiling fields
    (closure_desc and closure_type) also relative, but only when compiling
    via C, and the heap profiler was still treating them as absolute,
    leading to crashes when profiling with -hd or -hy.
    
    This patch fixes up the story to be consistent: these fields really
    should be relative (otherwise we couldn't make shared versions of the
    profiling libraries), so I've made them relative and fixed up the RTS
    to know about this.
