If the C code had variables that were named the same as the prefixes used for name mangling, such as "tmp" or "ref", then the codegen would generate incorrect code in some cases. This was because these aliases were immediately visible to expressions that actually needed to use the original name. I introduced the concept of reserving aliases without enabling them. An alias that isn't enabled isn't visible to expression translation, but is still reserved so that sub-expressions generate aliases that don't overlap. Add test cases to cover the cases that would break before this change. Co-authored-by: Veikka Tuominen <git@vexu.eu>

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.
