| PowerShell |
| ========== |
|
|
| The `powershell[.exe]` executable for PowerShell is built by |
| **powershell-unix** and **powershell-windows** projects, |
| as they are the top dependencies of the graph, and has `emitEntryPoint: true`, |
| meaning a native executable is produced automatically by CLI (no need to own a |
| separate native host). |
|
|
| This project is a very simple shim that provides a `Main` function for .NET CLI |
| to produce an app. It initializes PowerShell's custom `AssemblyLoadContext` and |
| then delegates to the same `Start` function in |
| `Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost` that the original native PowerShell host |
| executes; thus we share the same entry point and the same PowerShell host, but |
| use a different native host. This lets us take full advantage of .NET CLI's |
| native host. |
|
|
| We use this shim so that the `ConsoleHost` project and the original native host |
| do not have to be changed. Additionally, until .NET CLI bugs surrounding content |
| file deployment are solved, this shim allows us to continue with our split |
| `Modules` folders work-around to deploy the correct versions. |
