* work around a stage1 miscompilation leading to the wrong integer comparison predicate being emitted. * fix the bug of not annotating callsites with the calling convention of the callee, leading to undefined behavior. * add the `nobuiltin` attribute when building freestanding libc or compiler_rt libraries to prevent e.g. memcpy from being "optimized" into a call to itself. * compiler-rt: change a call to be comptime to make the generated LLVM IR simpler and easier to study. I still can't enable the widening tests due to the compiler-rt compare function being miscompiled in some not-yet-diagnosed way.
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.
