* In watch mode, when changing the C source, we will trigger complete relinking of objects, dylibs and archives (atoms coming from the incremental updates stay put however). This means, we need to undo metadata populated when linking in objects, archives and dylibs. * Remove unused splitting section into atoms bit. This optimisation will probably be best rewritten from scratch once self-hosted matures so parking the idea for now. Also, for easier management of atoms spawned from the Object file, keep the atoms subgraph as part of the Object file struct. * Remove obsolete ref to static initializers in object struct. * Implement handling of global symbol collision in updateDeclExports.
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.
