The previous definition depends on a non-lang-spec-compliant memory layout for packed structs, which happens to trigger #11989 in stage2. This commit changes the struct to be an extern struct with an align(4) field. However, stage1 cannot handle this, so conditional compilation logic is used to select different struct definitions depending on stage1 vs stage2. This works around #11989 but does not solve the underlying problem - putting an extern union inside a packed struct will still trigger the assert. After this, both stage1 and stage2 std lib tests run assertion-clean with a debug LLVM 13.

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.
