This reverts commit a430630002bf02162ccbf8d3eb10fd73e490cefd. Wait a minute, I'm sorry, I need to revert this. The whole premise of this change is broken because the point of the hash is that it tells whether the same compilation has been done before. This requires items to be added to the hash in the same sequence every time. This means that introducing a lock is fundamentally broken because the order needs to be the same in future runs of the compiler, and not decided by threads racing against each other. The proper solution to this is to, in whole cache mode, append the hash inputs to some data structure, and then after the compilation is complete, do some kind of sorting on the hash inputs so that they will be the same order every time, then apply them in sequence. No lock on the Cache object is needed for this scheme.

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
