All supported platforms should be built and tested in CI

Author: celeste-sineadCreated Apr 24, 2026Updated Apr 25, 2026

We presently declare the following support:

Target triple Binary Library
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
x86_64-apple-darwin
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
aarch64-apple-ios
armv7-apple-ios
armv7s-apple-ios
aarch64-linux-android
arm-linux-androideabi

However, we only build and test on, afaict, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, x86_64-pc-windows-msvc, and aarch64-apple-darwin (which is notably not declared as supported!).

Unsurprisingly, the targets that don't get tested have rotted:

  • #428 - android builds reportedly broken
  • #450 and #460 - platforms lacking native 64 bit atomics have been broken for years
  • #383 - notes lack of declared support for aarch64-apple-darwin (even though it's what we build in CI

Broadly:

  • we should be building and testing at least one 32 bit target
  • we should be building and testing android, if possible
  • the support list should be pruned to things we can routinely test
