This is a patchset for the Zig compiler, version 0.14.1, that adds minor features useful for debugging and development.

It is not suitable for production: your CI should use mainline Zig.

It is unsupported, and may be completely broken.

• Unused locals produce warnings, not errors
• Unreachable code produces warnings, not errors
• The lexer supports block comments (/* ... */)

It includes a Justfile that downloads and builds LLVM, then builds Zig.

just build

The compiler will be located at ./build/stage3/bin/zig.

Use by e.g. adding an alias to your shell:

alias bzig="$HOME/zig/build/stage3/bin/zig"

The LLVM build is tested on Linux and may not work elsewhere.
