"probably" The code is written to standard operating system APIs, and we are very aggressive with our compiler warnings (which helps avoid undefined/architecture-specific behavior). I would expect it to work, but as always with C++ sometimes things get weird.
Depending on the architecture* we would probably accept pull requests to fix any issues found by the community (assuming they're of good quality, don't add too much complexity, etc - all the normal PR caveats) -- Branan * We wouldn't upstream support for the m68k, for example On Thu, Mar 5, 2015 at 1:25 PM, Roy Nielsen <amr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Curious - will this be able to be compiled and used on Arm or other > architectures (cross platform compatibility)? > > Thank you, > -Roy > > On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 4:45 PM, Kylo Ginsberg <k...@puppetlabs.com> wrote: > >> As some of you know, we have been working on a native reimplementation of >> facter in C++11 in the https://github.com/puppetlabs/cfacter project.
