* std: add Thread.Condition.timedWait I needed the equivalent of `std::condition_variable::wait_for`, but it's missing in std. This PR adds an implementation, following the status quo of using std.os.CLOCK.REALTIME in the pthread case (i.e. Futex) A follow-up patch moving futex/condition stuff to monotonic clocks where available seems like a good idea. This would involve conditionally exposing more functions and constants through std.c and std.os. For instance, Chromium picks `pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np` on macOS and `clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC...)` on BSD's. Tested on Windows 11, macOS 12.2.1 and Linux (with/without libc) * Sleep in the single threaded case, handle timeout overflow in the Windows case and address a race condition in the AtomicCondition case.
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.
