We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
With this change zig ld can link with dynamic libraries
contained within a fat/universal file that had multiple
seperate binaries embedded within it for multi-arch
support (in macOS).
Whilst zig can still only create single-architecture
executables - the ability to link with fat libraries is
useful for cases where they are the easiest (or only)
option to link against.
Add two helpers to ensure people won't ignore some edge cases such as
pointers overflowing the address space.
Also fix#8924 to some degree, the amount of unchecked alignForward is
still scary.

Mainly I wanted Jakub's new macOS code for respecting stack size, since
we now depend on it for debug builds able to pass one of the test cases
for recursive comptime function calls with `@setEvalBranchQuota`.
The conflicts were all trivial.
The current spanZ() function will not scan for a 0 terminator if the
type is not 0 terminated. This encourages using 0 terminated array
types to bind C arrays which hold 0 terminated strings. However, this is
a big footgun as nothing in the C type system guarantees there to be a
0 terminator at the end of the array and if there is none this becomes
Illegal Behavior in Zig.
To solve this, deprecate spanZ() and lenZ(), adding a new sliceTo()
function that always scans for the given terminator even if the type is
not sentinel terminated.

Master branch added `try` to a bunch of testing function calls, and some
lines also had changed how to refer to the native architecture and other
`@import("builtin")` stuff.
* #8454 Fix for std.mem.replacementSize adjacent matches bug.
When two 'needle' values are adjacent in the 'input' slice, the size is not
counted correctly. The 2nd 'needle' value is not matched because the index is
incremented by one after changing the index to account for the first value.
The impact is the the size returned is incorrect, and could cause UB when this
amount is used to size of the buffer passed to std.mem.replace.
* Apply changes from PR review:
- Add assert checking that the needle is non-empty and doc for this.
- Add minimal test that an empty input works.
- Use testing.expectEqualStrings.
* `comptime const` is redundant
* don't use `extern enum`; specify a tag type.
`extern enum` is only when you need tags to alias. But aliasing tags
is a smell. I will be making a proposal shortly to remove `extern enum`
from the language.
* there is no such thing as `packed enum`.
* instead of `catch |_|`, omit the capture entirely.
* unused function definition with missing parameter name
* using `try` outside of a function or test
... and mem.copy operations. Requires slightly larger input buffers than result length. Add helper functions std.mem.alignInBytes and std.mem.alignInSlice.
This is a trivial implementation that just does a or[xor] loop.
However, this pattern is used by virtually all crypto libraries and
in practice, even without assembly barriers, LLVM never turns it into
code with conditional jumps, even if one of the parameters is constant.
This has been verified to still be the case with LLVM 11.0.0.
The new defaults that came in with
644400054c are nice, however, it is still
possible that someone knows their inputs are always small and wants to
use the simpler implementations. We keep the default to make the choice
at runtime, but expose the linear functions in the public interface of
std.mem.
Also improved the doc comments.
Add check if the type is float. Float byte comparison doesn't work
because +0.0 and -0.0 are considered equal but their byte
representations are not equal.
