Comment (by simonmar):
Ah, that's interesting. Yes the RTS does have a way to allocate
executable memory, but it appears that the Win32 object linker isn't using
it: line 1379 of rts/Linker.c:
{{{
oc->image = stgMallocBytes(oc->fileSize + misalignment,
"loadObj(image)");
}}}
Could you try changing this to
{{{
oc->image = allocateExec(oc->fileSize + misalignment);
}}}
and see if that helps?
