*crt0dat.c - 32-bit C run-time initialization/termination routines
*
* Copyright (c) 1986-2001, Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
*
*Purpose:
* This module contains the routines _cinit, exit, and _exit
* for C run-time startup and termination. _cinit and exit
* are called from the _astart code in crt0.asm.
* This module also defines several data variables used by the
* runtime.
*
* [NOTE: Lock segment definitions are at end of module.]
*
*Revision History:
* 06-28-89 PHG Module created, based on asm version
* 04-09-90 GJF Added #include <cruntime.h>. Made calling type
* explicit (_CALLTYPE1 or _CALLTYPE4). Also, fixed
* the copyright.
* 04-10-90 GJF Fixed compiler warnings (-W3).
* 05-21-90 GJF Added #undef _NFILE_ (temporary hack) and fixed the
* indents.
* 08-31-90 GJF Removed 32 from API names.
* 09-25-90 GJF Merged tree version with local (8-31 and 5-21 changes).
* 10-08-90 GJF New-style function declarators.
* 10-12-90 GJF Removed divide by 0 stuff.
* 10-18-90 GJF Added _pipech[] array.
* 11-05-90 GJF Added _umaskval.
* 12-04-90 GJF Added _osfinfo[] definition for Win32 target. Note that
* the Win32 support is still incomplete!
* 12-04-90 SRW Changed to include <oscalls.h> instead of <doscalls.h>
* 12-04-90 SRW Added _osfile back for win32. Changed _osfinfo from
* an array of structures to an array of 32-bit handles
* (_osfhnd)
* 12-28-90 SRW Added _CRUISER_ conditional around pack pragmas
* 01-29-91 GJF ANSI naming.
* 01-29-91 SRW Added call to GetFileType [_WIN32_]
* 02-18-91 SRW Removed duplicate defintion of _NFILE_ (see mtdll.h)
* 04-04-91 GJF Added definitions for _base[version|major|minor]
* (_WIN32_).
* 04-08-91 GJF Temporary hack for Win32/DOS folks - added HeapDestroy
* call to doexit to tear down the OS heap used by C
* heap.
* 04-09-91 PNT Added _MAC_ conditional
* 04-26-91 SRW Removed level 3 warnings
* 07-16-91 GJF Added fp initialization test-and-call [_WIN32_].
* 07-26-91 GJF Revised initialization and termination stuff. In
* particular, removed need for win32ini.c [_WIN32_].
* 08-07-91 GJF Added init. for FORTRAN runtime, if present [_WIN32_].
* 08-21-91 GJF Test _prmtmp against NULL, not _prmtmp().
* 08-21-91 JCR Added _exitflag, _endstdio, _cpumode, etc.
* 09-09-91 GJF Revised _doinitterm for C++ init. support and to make
* _onexit/atexit compatible with C++ needs.
* 09-16-91 GJF Must test __onexitend before calling _doinitterm.
* 10-29-91 GJF Force in floating point initialization for MIPS
* compiler [_WIN32_].
* 11-13-91 GJF FORTRAN needs _onexit/atexit init. before call thru
* _pFFinit.
* 12-29-91 RID MAC module created, based on OS2 version
* 01-10-92 GJF Merged. Also, added _C_Termination_Done [_WIN32_].

* It's possible another thread may be calling doexit() while holding

*exit(status), _exit(status), _cexit(void), _c_exit(void) - C termination
*
*Purpose:
*
* Entry points:
*
* exit(code): Performs all the C termination functions
* and terminates the process with the return code
* supplied by the user.
*
* _exit(code): Performs a quick exit routine that does not
* do certain 'high-level' exit processing. The _exit
* routine terminates the process with the return code
* supplied by the user.
*
* _cexit(): Performs the same C lib termination processing
* as exit(code) but returns control to the caller
* when done (i.e., does NOT terminate the process).
*
* _c_exit(): Performs the same C lib termination processing
* as _exit(code) but returns control to the caller
* when done (i.e., does NOT terminate the process).
*
* Termination actions:
*
* exit(), _cexit():
*
* 1. call user's terminator routines
* 2. call C runtime preterminators
*
* _exit(), _c_exit():
*
* 3. call C runtime terminators
* 4. return to DOS or caller
*
* Notes:
*
* The termination sequence is complicated due to the multiple entry
* points sharing the common code body while having different entry/exit
* sequences.
*
* Multi-thread notes:
*
* 1. exit() should NEVER be called when mthread locks are held.
* The exit() routine can make calls that try to get mthread locks.
*
* 2. _exit()/_c_exit() can be called from anywhere, with or without locks held.
* Thus, _exit() can NEVER try to get locks (otherwise, deadlock
* may occur). _exit() should always 'work' (i.e., the process
* should always terminate successfully).
*
* 3. Only one thread is allowed into the exit code (see _lockexit()
* and _unlockexit() routines).
*
*Entry:
* exit(), _exit()
* int status - exit status (0-255)
*
* _cexit(), _c_exit()
* <no input>
*
*Exit:
* exit(), _exit()
* <EXIT to DOS>

* Since _exit() must ALWAYS be able to work (i.e., can be called
* from anywhere with no regard for locking), we must make sure the
* program does not deadlock at step (d) above.
*
* (2) If a thread executing exit() or _exit() aquires the exit lock,
* other threads trying to get the lock will pend forever. That is,
* since exit() and _exit() terminate the process, there is not need
* for them to unlock the exit code path.
*
* (3) Note that onexit()/atexit() routines call _lockexit/_unlockexit
