Currently Zig lowers `@intToFloat` for f80 incorrectly on non-x86 targets: ``` broken LLVM module found: UIToFP result must be FP or FP vector %62 = uitofp i64 %61 to i128 SIToFP result must be FP or FP vector %66 = sitofp i64 %65 to i128 ``` This happens because on such targets, we use i128 instead of x86_fp80 in order to avoid "LLVM ERROR: Cannot select". `@intToFloat` must be lowered differently to account for this difference as well.
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.
