Adds 2 new AIR instructions: * dbg_var_ptr * dbg_var_val Sema no longer emits dbg_stmt AIR instructions when strip=true. LLVM backend: fixed lowerPtrToVoid when calling ptrAlignment on the element type is problematic. LLVM backend: fixed alloca instructions improperly getting debug location annotated, causing chaotic debug info behavior. zig_llvm.cpp: fixed incorrect bindings for a function that should use unsigned integers for line and column. A bunch of C test cases regressed because the new dbg_var AIR instructions caused their operands to be alive, exposing latent bugs. Mostly it's just a problem that the C backend lowers mutable and const slices to the same C type, so we need to represent that in the C backend instead of printing two duplicate typedefs.
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

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.
