* Update AIR instruction `intcast` to allow the dest type to be an enum. * LLVM backend: update `intcast` to support when the bit counts of operand and dest type are the same. This was already a requirement of the instruction previously. * Type: `intInfo` supports the case when the type is an enum, and retrieves the info for the integer tag type. This makes it pretty easy for backends to implement `intcast` without having to care explicitly that the new type is an enum. As a bonus, simple enums never have to go through the type system; their signedness and bit count are computed directly. The "int to enum" behavior test case is now passing for stage2 in the LLVM backend.
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.
