+//! This checks the output of `--print=native-static-libs`
+//!
+//! Specifically, this test makes sure that one and only one
+//! note is emitted with the text "native-static-libs:" as prefix
+//! that the note contains the link args given in the source code
+//! and cli of the current crate and downstream crates.
+//!
+//! It also checks that there aren't any duplicated consecutive
+//! args, as they are useless and suboptimal for debugability.
+//! See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/113209.
