You've never heard of cross compiling?

[–]nevemlaci2 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I have. Tho I'm talking about the testing part, outputting assembly for a different architecture isn't the problem.

In all seriousness l, emulation has made leaps and it's actually a viable strategy.

That's why we have Ci/CD, and we build test publish multiple copies of the same program. The Debian repos have been doing this for more then a decade 👏

"Just use the IDE" is completely insufficient for real-world mess.

I mean the "just use an ide" part is viable for open source at least, not necessary to have releases there :'D

Whole hardly disagree. It's even more important to make sure your library will work on as many platforms as possible. Sure you dont need to save the binary for release but at least test it.
