Bumping to latest Zig also fixes compiling for macOS Tahoe 26.4 or later.
Update: Putting this into DRAFT mode due to optimization regressions thanks to Zig 0.16.0's use of LLVM 21.
Note: For those on macOS Tahoe 26.4 or later, install Xcode 26.3 Command Line Tools (you may need to login with an Apple Developer account) workaround to fix Zig 0.15.2 builds. After downloading, install the
.dmgfile, runsudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools, and confirmclang --versionreports version17.0.0. If you don't see this version, you may need to update yourPATH(via~/.zshrcor elsewhere) to ensure you're not overriding the LLVM version with a Homebrew version or similar. Finally, you can usezvm use 0.15.2(or however you manage your Zig installations) to switch back to0.15.2(if you'd switched to0.16.0previously), and try re-compiling Vere.
