Supported targets table in README and it's meaning #24

Closed jaskij closed 2 years ago

jaskij commented 2 years ago

I'm looking at README (screenshot below), in the context of aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, and my question is, what does the third column actually mean? To my knowledge, there is no such crate as tikv-jemalloc, should this mean tikv-jemalloc-ctl? Or does this column mean something else?

I want to use tikv-jemallocator in my software, targeting aarch64, but am not sure if it's safe to do so?

Sorry, it should mean jemalloc itself. We only run tests of jemalloc itself on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. Although, I believe it should work on aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, TiKV itself also enable jemalloc on the platform.

@BusyJay thanks for the explanation.

I'm not too worried about jemalloc itself - it is packaged by Yocto and nothing in the recipe tells me jemalloc won't work on aarch64. The timing oddly coincides with the project mainlining Rust support.
