This makes it easier to understand how control flow should happen in various cases; already just by doing this it is revealed that UndefinedSymbol and UndefinedSymbolReference should be merged, and that MissingMainEntrypoint should be removed in favor of the ErrorFlags mechanism thath we already have for missing the main entrypoint. The main motivation for this change, however, is preventing a compile error when there is conditional compilation inside linker implementations, causing the flush() error set to depend on compilation options. With this change, the error set is fixed, and, notably, the `-Donly-c` flag no longer has compilation errors due to this error set.
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.
