<p>i just found out that `<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pragma" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>pragma</span></a> comment(lib, ...)` works with clang on an ELF target but not on a COFF target. the</p><p>i... what? how do you even end up in this situation? i&#39;m completely lost</p>
