* Sema: resolve type fully when emitting an alloc AIR instruction to avoid tripping assertion for checking struct field alignment. * LLVM backend: keep a reference to the LLVM target data alive during lowering so that we can ask LLVM what it thinks the ABI alignment and size of LLVM types are. We need this in order to lower tuples and structs so that we can put in extra padding bytes when Zig disagrees with LLVM about the size or alignment of something. * LLVM backend: make the LLVM struct type packed that contains the most aligned union field and the padding. This prevents the struct from being too big according to LLVM. In the future, we may want to consider instead emitting unions in a "flat" manner; putting the tag, most aligned union field, and padding all in the same struct field space. * LLVM backend: make structs with 2 or fewer fields return isByRef=false. This results in more efficient codegen. This required lowering of bitcast to sometimes store the struct into an alloca, ptrcast, and then load because LLVM does not allow bitcasting structs. * enable more passing behavior tests. |

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.
