* Tier 1: Officially supported and tested with CI. Any contributed patch
MUST NOT break such systems.
* Tier 2: Officially supported, but not necessarily tested with CI. These
systems are maintained to the best of our ability, without being a top
priority.
* Tier 3: Not tested and no guarantees, but may work.
Adding support for a new platform
IMPORTANT: Before attempting to add support for a new platform please open
an issue about it for discussion.
Common
Some common notes when adding support for new platforms:
Cmake is the only supported build system. The platform must be buildable with cmake.
All functionality related to the new platform must be implemented in its own
file inside src/nvim/os
unless it's already done in a common file, in which
case adding an #ifdef
is fine.
