* sret logic needed a check for hasRuntimeBits()
* lower f128 on windows targets with the "sse" class rather than
"memory". For reference, clang emits a compile error when __float128
is used with the MSVC ABI, saying that this type is not supported.
The docs for the x64 calling convention have both of these sentences:
- "Any argument that doesn't fit in 8 bytes, or isn't 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes,
must be passed by reference."
- "All floating point operations are done using the 16 XMM registers."
* For i128, however, it is clear that the Windows calling convention
wants such an object to be passed by reference. I fixed the LLVM
lowering for function parameters to make this work.
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.
