[Haskell-cafe] How does the RTS "know" about ExitCode

[Georgi Lyubenov]

Hi!

I'm wondering how values stored in ExitCode "get to" the RTS (i.e. actually
make the program exit with the given number).

As far as I can tell ExitCode is used as an everyday normal-looking
exception (which are defined entirely in "library code", by using
the raise#/catch# primitives), without any direct link to the RTS.

What am I missing?
