`ctor` is a library that Marks a function or static variable as a library/executable constructor. This uses OS-specific linker sections to call a specific function at load time. Signed-off-by: Talha Can Havadar <talha.can.havadar@canonical.com>

ctor, I dont really want to add more dependencies into the project but I can understand the benefit this brings. It helps integrating more platforms easier and also prevents small mistakes such as adding a platform but not really registering it.But it also adds a bit of magic into the application as well so it hides the implementation detail of registering platforms from the developer.
So I feel like this is a nice to have feature but not really mandatory.
