ghostty/test/windows/test_dll_init.c

/*
 * Minimal reproducer for the libghostty DLL CRT initialization issue.
 *
 * Before the fix (DllMain calling __vcrt_initialize / __acrt_initialize),
 * loading ghostty.dll and calling any function that touches the C runtime
 * crashed with "access violation writing 0x0000000000000024" because Zig's
 * _DllMainCRTStartup does not initialize the MSVC C runtime for DLL targets.
 *
 * This test loads the DLL and calls ghostty_info, which exercises the CRT
 * (string handling, memory). If it returns a version string without
 * crashing, the CRT is properly initialized.
 *
 * Build:  zig cc test_dll_init.c -o test_dll_init.exe -target native-native-msvc
 * Run:    copy ..\..\zig-out\lib\ghostty.dll . && test_dll_init.exe
 *
 * Expected output (after fix):
 *   ghostty_info: <version string>
