Description
Background
States that seekdb currently supports Linux and macOS but not Windows, referencing the existing documentation that explicitly says "Windows is not supported yet." Notes that the OB_PLATFORM_WINDOWS macro already exists but is unimplemented.
Feature Description
We hope seekdb can offer complete support for Windows, allowing users to smoothly compile and run the project on mainstream Windows platforms (such as Windows 11), covering x64 architectures. It is recommended to resolve any existing compatibility issues during compilation and provide relevant documentation.
Suggested Improvements
- Build System & Toolchain — CMake Windows support, PowerShell build script, vcpkg, MSVC/Clang-cl support
- Platform Abstraction Layer — POSIX compat shim, IOCP backend, futex/mmap/file abstractions
- Dependencies — vcpkg manifest, Linux-only dependency replacements, LLVM on Windows
- Packaging & Distribution — MSI/ZIP/TGZ packaging, Windows Service support
- Functional Validation & Performance Optimization — mysqltest, unittest and sysbench
