RFC: Portable compilation targets (PH-PORT)¶

Status: Draft
Track: PH-PORT
Vision: world-studio-vision.md

Proposal¶

lic build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
lic build --target aarch64-apple-darwin
lic build --target-list

Li syntax¶

Use def for all new APIs. Do not document bare proc. extern proc only for FFI. Every exported def (and each extern proc) needs requires / ensures / decreases. The parser still accepts legacy bare proc in old trees only — reject that syntax in new Studio/game-dev docs and package code.

targets/manifest.toml — supported triples, CPU features, CI tier (required / optional).

Tier-1 CI: x86_64-linux, aarch64-linux, aarch64-darwin.

Policy¶

All official packages/* build on tier-1 without source changes.

Dependencies¶

LLVM 22 only for CPU; GPU via [engine.lig] in li.toml (see lig-rfc.md; legacy [engine.gpu] alias one release).
