## Requirements & limits

- Built on DynamoRIO and distributed in platform-specific packages. The README describes Windows, Linux, macOS and Android operation on IA-32, AMD64 and ARM; supported package/host combinations must match the selected release.
- The target runs under instrumentation. Windows adds handle/GDI/TLS diagnostics and the drstrace system-call tracer; these Windows-specific features do not apply to every host.
