Clang has a completely inconsistent CLI for its integrated assembler for each target architecture. For x86_64, for example, it does not accept an -mcpu parameter, and emits "warning: unused parameter". However, for ARM, -mcpu is needed in order to properly lower assembly to machine code instructions (see new standalone test case provided thanks to @g-w1). This is a compromise between b8f85a805bf61ae11d6ee2bd6d8356fbc98ee3ba and afb9f695b1bdbf81185e7d55d5783bcbab880989.
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.
