Before this would fail to compile:
```
fn testFn(alloc: std.mem.Allocator, arr: []const u8) !void {
_ = alloc;
_ = arr;
}
test "checkAll" {
var arr = [_]u8{ 1, 2, 3 };
try std.testing.checkAllAllocationFailures(std.testing.allocator, testFn, .{arr[0..]});
}
```
with the error `error: Unexpected type for extra argument at index 0: expected []const u8, found *[3]u8`
By removing this strict equality check, we allow the type checking to be done during the `@field(args, arg_i_str) = @field(extra_args, field.name);` instead, which then allows for things like type coercion to work, but still will give a compile error if the types are incorrect. So, after this change, the above succeeds (because `*[3]u8` can be coerced to `[]const u8`).
The new compile error when providing an incorrect type that can't be coerced looks like this:
```
zig/lib/std/testing.zig:639:35: error: expected type '[]const u8', found '*[3]u32'
@field(args, arg_i_str) = @field(extra_args, field.name);

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.
