Targets

The Zig Standard Library (@import("std")) has architecture, environment, and operating system abstractions, and thus takes additional work to support more platforms. Not all standard library code requires operating system abstractions, however, so things such as generic data structures work on all above platforms.

The current list of targets supported by the Zig Standard Library is:

  • Linux x86_64
  • Windows x86_64
  • macOS x86_64
