* incorporate Andrew's MIR draft as Mir.zig
* add skeleton for Emit.zig module - Emit will lower MIR into
machine code or textual ASM.
* implement push
* implement ret
* implement mov r/m, r
* implement sub r/m imm and sub r/m, r
* put encoding common ops together - some ops share impl such as
MOV and cmp so put them together and vary the actual opcode
with modRM ext only.
* implement pop
* implement movabs - movabs being a special-case of mov not
handled by general mov MIR instruction due to requirement to
handle 64bit immediates.
* store imm64 as a struct `Imm64{ msb: u32, lsb: u32 }` in extra data
for use with for instance movabs inst
* implement more mov variations
* implement adc
* implement add
* implement sub
* implement xor
* implement and
* implement or
* implement sbb
* implement cmp
* implement lea - lea doesn't follow the scheme as other inst above. Similarly, I
think bit shifts and rotates should be put in a separate basket too.
* implement adc_scale_src
* implement add_scale_src
* implement sub_scale_src
* implement xor_scale_src
* implement and_scale_src
* implement or_scale_src
* implement sbb_scale_src
* implement cmp_scale_src
* implement adc_scale_dst
* implement add_scale_dst
* implement sub_scale_dst
* implement xor_scale_dst
* implement and_scale_dst
* implement or_scale_dst
* implement sbb_scale_dst
* implement cmp_scale_dst
* implement mov_scale_src
* implement mov_scale_dst
* implement adc_scale_imm
* implement add_scale_imm
* implement sub_scale_imm
* implement xor_scale_imm
* implement and_scale_imm
* implement or_scale_imm
* implement sbb_scale_imm
* implement cmp_scale_imm
* port bin math to MIR
* backpatch stack size into prev MIR inst
* implement Function.gen() (minus dbg info)
* implement jmp/call [imm] - we can now call functions using indirect absolute
addressing, or via registers.
* port airRet to use MIR
* port airLoop to use MIR
* patch up performReloc to use inst indices
* implement conditional jumps (without relocs)
* implement set byte on condition
* implement basic lea r64, [rip + imm]
* implement calling externs
* implement callq in PIE
* implement lea RIP in PIE context
* remove all refs to Encoder from CodeGen
* implement basic imul ops
* pass all Linux tests!
* enable most of dbg info gen
* generate arg dbg info in Emit
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.
