Addends in relocations are signed integers as theoretically it could be a negative number. As Atom's offsets are relative to their parent section, the relocation value should still result in a postive number. For this reason, the final result is stored as an unsigned integer. Also, rather than using `null` for relocations that do not support addends. We set the value to 0 for those that do not support addends, and have to call `addendIsPresent` to determine if an addend exists or not. This means each Relocation costs 4 bytes less than before, saving memory while linking.
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.
