The TCMalloc code is supported on the following platforms. By "platforms", we mean the union of operating system, architecture (e.g. little-endian vs. big-endian), compiler, and standard library.
TCMalloc requires a code base that supports C++17 and our code is C++17-compliant. C code is required to be compliant to C11.
We guarantee that our code will compile under the following compilation flags:
Linux:
- gcc 9.2+, clang 9.0+:
-std=c++17
(TL;DR; All code at this time must be built under C++17. We will update this list if circumstances change.)
The document below lists each platform, broken down by Operating System, Architecture, Specific Compiler, and Standard Library implementation.
Supported
| Operating System | Endianness/Word Size | Processor Architectures | Compilers* | Standard Libraries |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linux | little-endian, 64-bit | x86, AArch64 | gcc 9.2+ clang 9.0+ |
libstdc++ libc++ |
* We test on gcc 9.2, though gcc versions (which support C++17) prior to that release should also work.
Best Effort
| Operating System | Endianness/Word Size | Processor Architectures | Compilers* | Standard Libraries |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linux | little-endian, 64-bit | PPC | gcc 9.2+ clang 9.0+ |
