This crate exists for the purpose of passing `-lstdc++` or `-lc++` to the
linker, while making it possible for an application to make that choice on
behalf of its library dependencies.
Without this crate, a library would need to:
- pick one or the other to link, with no way for downstream applications to
override the choice;
- or link neither and require an explicit link flag provided by downstream
applications even if they would be fine with a default choice;
neither of which are good experiences.
<br>
## Options
An application or library that is fine with either of libstdc++ or libc++ being
linked, whichever is the platform's default, should use:
```toml
[dependencies]
link-cplusplus = "1.0"
```
An application that wants a particular one or the other linked should use:
```toml
[dependencies]
link-cplusplus = { version = "1.0", features = ["libstdcxx"] }
# or
link-cplusplus = { version = "1.0", features = ["libcxx"] }
```
An application that wants to handle its own more complicated logic for link
flags from its build script can make this crate do nothing by using:
```toml
[dependencies]
link-cplusplus = { version = "1.0", features = ["nothing"] }
```
