* use the real start code for LLVM backend with x86_64-linux
- there is still a check for zig_backend after initializing the TLS
area to skip some stuff.
* introduce new AIR instructions and implement them for the LLVM
backend. They are the same as `call` except with a modifier.
- call_always_tail
- call_never_tail
- call_never_inline
* LLVM backend calls hasRuntimeBitsIgnoringComptime in more places to
avoid unnecessarily depending on comptimeOnly being resolved for some
types.
* LLVM backend: remove duplicate code for setting linkage and value
name. The canonical place for this is in `updateDeclExports`.
* LLVM backend: do some assembly template massaging to make `%%`
rendered as `%`. More hacks will be needed to make inline assembly
catch up with stage1.
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

License
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.
