v0.13.0 - a 32-bit MSVC leg
visual-studio.yml takes an arch input, x64 (the default) or x86.
- arch: x86 configures with -A Win32 against vcpkg's built-in x86-windows
triplet, the x64-hosted tools cross-compiling. That leg is where MSVC's
32-bit ABI meets the code: an ILP32 size_t with 8-byte alignment for
64-bit members, and the STL's portable 128-bit integer class rather than
the x64 intrinsics. vcpkg_triplet is ignored there, as gcc.yml ignores it
for x86-linux-gcc. - A "Require a known target" step rejects anything but x64 or x86.
- The vcpkg cache key carries the arch, so an x86 caller and an x64 caller
of the same cache_prefix don't evict each other's archives. An existing
caller's key gains "-x64", so its first run after repinning restores cold. - A caller passing nothing configures, installs and builds exactly as before.
The README's 32-bit table gains the MSVC x86 row and its stub. Its new
Future directions section records the open design issues: declared support
instead of dropped rungs, ladder freshness, a test for coverage.yml, drift
between callers, and the shared build and documentation.
