Compile Target

Definitions

1. The platform, runtime, or output type that a compiler is instructed to generate code for, such as a specific OS, architecture, bytecode format, or browser baseline. Compile targets matter because language features and generated binaries may differ depending on where the code is expected to run.

   In plain English: The platform or output format the compiler is building for.

   Example: "The build failed only for the ARM compile target because one dependency still assumed x86-specific intrinsics."
