# Enable static linking for C runtime library on Windows.
#
# Rust uses the msvc toolchain on Windows,
# which by default dynamically links the C runtime (CRT) to the binary.
#
# This creates a runtime dependency on the Visual C++ Redistributable (`vcredist`),
# meaning the target machine must have `vcredist` installed for the application to run.
#
# Since `portable` version doesn't have an installer,
# we can't rely on it to install dependencies, so this config.
#
# Basically:
# - The `+crt-static` flag instructs the Rust compiler to statically link the C runtime for Windows builds.\
# - To avoids runtime errors related to missing `vcredist` installations.
# - Results in a larger binary size because the runtime is bundled directly into the executable.
#
# For MSVC targets specifically, it will compile code with `/MT` or static linkage.
