This valid zig code produces reasonable LLVM IR, however, on the wasm32-wasi target, when using the wasmtime runtime, the number of locals of the `isSquare` function exceeds 50000, causing wasmtime to refuse to execute the binary. The `inline` keyword in Zig is intended to be used only where it is semantically necessary; not as an optimization hint. Otherwise, this may produce unwanted binary bloat for the -OReleaseSmall use case. In the future, it is possible that we may end up with both `inline` keyword, which operates as it does in status quo, and additionally `callconv(.inline_hint)` which has no semantic impact, but may be observed by optimization passes. In this commit, I also cleaned up `isSquare` by eliminating an unnecessary mutable variable, replacing it with several local constants. Closes #11947.

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.
