* In semaStructFields and semaUnionFields we return error.GenericPoison
if one of the field types ends up being generic poison.
- This requires handling function calls and function types taking
this into account when calling `typeRequiresComptime` on the return
type.
* Unrelated: I noticed using Valgrind that struct reification did not
populate the `known_opv` field. After fixing it, the behavior tests
run Valgrind-clean.
* ZIR: use `@ptrCast` to cast between slices instead of exploiting
the fact that stage1 incorrectly allows `@bitCast` between slices.
- A future enhancement will make Zig support `@ptrCast` to directly
cast between slices.
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

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.
