Auto-linking

Auto-linking is a mechanism for automatically determining which libraries to link to while building a C, C++ or Obj-C program. It is activated by means of #pragma comment(lib, ) statements in the header files of the library, or @import , depending on the compiler. Most Windows compilers support auto-linking, as does Clang, while GCC does not support auto-linking.
