I had accidentally regressed support for -gdwarf in 461fb499f3cff9038a427eae120fb34defc9ab38 when I changed the logic to use the already-mapped exe/dll image instead of loading it from disk. The string table is mapped as all zeroes by the loader, so if a section header's name is longer than 8 bytes (like the ones generated by -gdwarf), then the name can't be read. Now, if any section headers require the string table, the file is mapped from disk. windows: Add NtCreateSection/NtMapViewOfSection/NtUnmapViewOfSection

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.
