mainc.c

/*
A C wrapper to get proper SDL initialisation on mac. From MACOSX in the
SDL haskell package:

  SDL uses Objective-C and Cocoa to open a UI window; this means that
  Cocoa must be initialized, and in particular, an NSAutoReleasePool be in
  place.  This initialization is done in libSDLmain.  For
  C/C++/Objective-C programs, libSDLmain #defines the developer's main to
  be SDL_main and piggy backs SDL_main onto it's own Cocoa main, using the
  C preprocessor and abusing the linker.  Of course, this technique will
  never work for Haskell: there is no clean entry point to a Haskell
  runtime in this fashion.
  ...
  MainWrapper.hs imports Main.hs and foreign-exports main as haskell_main.
  mainc.c includes SDL.h and contains a main function to make the
  preprocessor magic of SDL happen; it also initializes the GHC runtime
  system and calls haskell_main. Some makefile rules link our objects with
  the GHC RTS and SDL.
