#pragma lib and #pragma comment(lib )

[Anonymous]

Hi Pelle,
Can you give a brief description of what happens with the #pragma lib preprocessor directives?  

Specifically where are the library names stored and how does the linker get hold of them?

[Pelle]

They are stored as linker options in an object file section called ".drectve" - something like "-defaultlib:mylib". (Use PODUMP on an object file).

Thanks.  That's what I expected, but wasn't sure.
