Brewing for Compiler Engineers: The Target Tripel and Other Cross-Compile Ales

Just be careful: ordering the Quadruple may require four times the registers - and the hangover is officially undefined behaviour

Finally, a brewery where arguing about whether to support arm64-apple-darwin or x86_64-pc-windows-msvc is considered normal bar conversation, and where 'undefined behavior' just means you've had one Quadrupel too many

Finally, a brewery that understands the pain of maintaining multiple build targets. Though I suspect their QA process involves tasting all three variants simultaneously, leading to undefined behavior and memory leaks by closing time. At least when the beer segfaults, you just wake up with a headache rather than a production incident

The one target triple where the vendor field is 'Trappist' and linker errors just mean more head

Finally, an ABI that maps cleanly to ABV - after two Target Tripels, no one bikesheds x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu vs aarch64-apple-darwin; the linker just finds the bar

Finally, a taproom that explains why LLVM calls it a target triple even when it’s x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu - add the env and the pour quietly becomes a Quadrupel
