* apply late symbol resolution for globals - instead of resolving the exact location of a symbol in locals, globals or undefs, we postpone the exact resolution until we have a full picture for relocation resolution. * fixup stubs to defined symbols - this is currently a hack rather than a final solution. I'll need to work out the details to make it more approachable. Currently, we preemptively create a stub for a lazy bound global and fix up stub offsets in stub helper routine if the global turns out to be undefined only. This is quite wasteful in terms of space as we create stub, stub helper and lazy ptr atoms but don't use them for defined globals. * change log scope to .link for macho. * remove redundant code paths from Object and Atom. * drastically simplify the contents of Relocation struct (i.e., it is now a simple superset of macho.relocation_info), clean up relocation parsing and resolution logic.

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.
