z v1.7.0 – Feature Summary

Assemble & compile – NASM, GAS, FASM, C (.c), C++ (.cpp, .cc, .cxx) with strict warnings (-Wall -Wextra -Werror -Wpedantic -Wshadow -Wconversion).

• Single file or recursive directory – -asm, -cc, -dir.
• Parallel builds – -j N (0 = auto = CPU cores).
• Output formats – elf32, elf64, bin (flat binary for bootloaders).
• Linker control – -T <script> (linker script), -Ttext <addr> (text segment address).
• Interactive shell – fz -shell with build, set, show, clean, watch, exit.
• Project initialization – fz -init creates .fz.yaml, .fzignore, README.md.
• Incremental cache – SHA256‑based, avoid redundant rebuilds.
• Watch mode – -watch auto‑rebuild on source changes.
• JSON output – -json for CI/CD integration.
• Sanitizers – ASan + UBSan by default, -strict adds use‑after‑return/scope (prefers clang).
• Duplicate symbol pre‑check – saves time before linking.
• Clean artifacts – -clean removes .fz_objs, .fz_cache, binaries.
• Config file – .fz.yaml supports source_dirs, source_files, exclude, include, libs, custom flags.
• Cross‑platform – Linux, macOS, Windows (native via clang+lld).
