        If 1, any binary that depends (directly or indirectly) on this C++
        library will link in all the object files for the files listed in
        <code>srcs</code>, even if some contain no symbols referenced by the binary.
        This is useful if your code isn't explicitly called by code in
        the binary, e.g., if your code registers to receive some callback
        provided by some service.

        <p>If alwayslink doesn't work with VS 2017 on Windows, that is due to a
        <a href="https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/3949">known issue</a>,
        please upgrade your VS 2017 to the latest version.</p>
