This causes a stack overflow in a debug build of stage3 unfortunately. I will open an issue to track this test coverage, which we absolutely should get working - users of the compiler should get a compile error, not a segfault if they hit the default branch quota from abusing recursive inline functions. Note that the problem does not occur in a release build of stage3 which has significantly reduced stack usage. On Linux, I tried bumping up the stack size from 32 MiB to 64 MiB and it did not solve the problem. I'm not sure why not. It seems like it should be fine. Note that we also have a problem of running test-cases in multi-threaded mode which is currently the default. Currently Zig threads are spawned with 16 MiB stack space.

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.
