Platform support
Support for different platforms ("targets") are organized into three tiers,
each with a different set of guarantees. Targets are identified by the
Rust "target triple"
which is the string used when compiling cuprated.
| Attribute | Tier 1 | Tier 2 | Tier 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official builds | 🟢 | 🟢 | 🔴 |
| Guaranteed to build | 🟢 | 🟢 | 🟡 |
| Automated testing | 🟢 | 🟡 (some targets) | 🔴 |
| Manual testing | 🟢 | 🟡 (sometimes) | 🔴 |
Tier 1
Tier 1 targets can be thought of as "guaranteed to work".
| Target | Notes |
|---|---|
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu | x64 Linux (glibc 2.36+) |
aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu | ARM64 Linux (glibc 2.36+) |
aarch64-apple-darwin | ARM64 macOS (11.0+) |
Tier 2
Tier 2 targets can be thought of as "guaranteed to build".
| Target | Notes |
|---|---|
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc | x64 Windows (MSVC, Windows Server 2022+) |
Tier 3
Tier 3 targets are those which the Cuprate codebase likely can support, but which Cuprate does not build or test on a regular basis, so they may or may not work. Official builds are not available, but may eventually be planned.
| Target | Notes |
|---|---|
x86_64-unknown-linux-musl | x64 Linux (musl 1.2.3) |
aarch64-unknown-linux-musl | ARM64 Linux (musl 1.2.3) |
x86_64-unknown-freebsd | x64 FreeBSD |
aarch64-unknown-freebsd | ARM64 FreeBSD |
aarch64-pc-windows-msvc | ARM64 Windows (MSVC, Windows Server 2022+) |
x86_64-apple-darwin | x64 macOS |
