Comment (by guest):

 appon reflection 5c of above ...

   hey this has me stumped test_proxy5b.o imports symbol _test at 4.
 test1b.dll exports symbol _test hmmm how is the symbol _test at 4 resolved
 ??? why isn't the stack corrupted when test is called ??? MYSTERY ???


 if ghci is doing the linking and uses the same name resolution to resolve
 these names i.e. '''_test at 4''' is dropping the '''@4''' to get '''_test'''
 then it would make sense that linking is successful. But why dosn't it
 crash when called?
