Sema now properly handles alloc_inferred and alloc_inferred_mut ZIR instructions inside a comptime execution context. In this case it creates Decl objects and points to them with the new `decl_ref_mut` Value Tag. `storePtr` is updated to mutate such Decl types and values. In this case it destroys the old arena and makes a new one, preventing memory growth during comptime code execution. Additionally: * Fix `storePtr` to emit a compile error for a pointer comptime-known to be undefined. * Fix `storePtr` to emit runtime instructions for all the cases that a pointer is comptime-known but does not support comptime dereferencing, such as `@intToPtr` on a hard-coded address, or an extern function. * Fix `ret_coerce` not coercing inside inline function call context.
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.
