How does Visual Studio know the name of the library?
I assembled Boost, successfully installed it in the project, everything works, but a question arose.
For the sake of experiment, I tried to build a project without libraries, only with headers.
Removed the path to *.lib files from the "Additional Library Directories", and got this interesting message:
Question - how does the studio find out the exact name of the *.lib library, if the path to it is not registered anywhere?
At first I thought that the library is included in the headers via the "#using" directive, but I didn't find such a line in them:
How does the compiler know the exact name of the library?
Maybe I'm really stupid right now, tell me please
