* Introduce `memoized_calls` to `Module` which stores all the comptime function calls that are cached. It is keyed on the `*Fn` and the comptime arguments, but it does not yet properly detect comptime function pointers and avoid memoizing in this case. So it will have false positives for when a comptime function call mutates data through a pointer parameter. * Sema: Add a new helper function: `resolveConstMaybeUndefVal` * Value: add `enumToInt` method and use it in `zirEnumToInt`. It is also used by the hashing function. * Value: fix representation of optionals to match error unions. Previously it would not handle nested optionals correctly. Now it matches the memory layout of error unions and supports nested optionals properly. This required changes in all the backends for generating optional constants. * TypedValue gains `eql` and `hash` methods. * Value: Implement hashing for floats, optionals, and enums. Additionally, the zig type tag is added to the hash, where it was not previously, so that values of differing types will get different hashes.

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.
