Crystal Platform Support

Platforms are identified by their “target triple” which is the string to inform the compiler what kind of output should be produced. The columns below indicate whether the corresponding component works on the specified platform.

• Automated testing is set up to run tests for the platform.

Tier 2 platforms can be thought of as “expected to build”. Automated tests are not run so it’s not guaranteed to produce a working build, but platforms often work to quite a good degree and patches are always welcome!

Note: big thanks go to the Rust team for putting together such a clear doc on Rust’s platform support. We felt it was so close to what we were needing in Crystal, that we basically copied many chunks of their document. See https://forge.rust-lang.org/platform-support.html.
