AstGen:
* rename the known_has_bits flag to known_non_opv to make it better
reflect what it actually means.
* add a known_comptime_only flag.
* make the flags take advantage of identifiers of primitives and the
fact that zig has no shadowing.
* correct the known_non_opv flag for function bodies.
Sema:
* Rename `hasCodeGenBits` to `hasRuntimeBits` to better reflect what it
does.
- This function got a bit more complicated in this commit because of
the duality of function bodies: on one hand they have runtime bits,
but on the other hand they require being comptime known.
* WipAnonDecl now takes a LazySrcDecl parameter and performs the type
resolutions that it needs during finish().
* Implement comptime `@ptrToInt`.
Codegen:
* Improved handling of lowering decl_ref; make it work for
comptime-known ptr-to-int values.
- This same change had to be made many different times; perhaps we
should look into merging the implementations of `genTypedValue`
across x86, arm, aarch64, and riscv.

License
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.
