+# These are essentially workarounds for meson and/or MSVC.  Unfortunately,
+# meson's default_library option doesn't support shared and static builds very
+# well.  In particular, it's often necessary to define different symbols for
+# static and shared builds of libraries so that symbols can be exported.  To
+# work around this, we do not support default_library=both on Windows.  On
+# other platforms with GCC-like compilers, we can support both because symbols
+# can safely be exported in the same way (giving them default visibility) in
+# both static and shared builds.
+
+# Abort on Windows with default_library=both
+if get_option('default_library') == 'both'
