Instead of calling write barriers (mrb_write_barrier) in the function,
call field write barriers (mrb_field_write_barrier_value) from the
individual functions.
Internal functions can only be called from within the library.
Functions listed in `mruby/internal.h` can be called from:
* core (src/*.c)
* gems (mrbgems/**/*.c)
But not from the application linked with `libmruby`.
Instead of including `mruby/presym.h` everywhere, we provided the
fallback `mruby/presym.inc` under `include/mruby` directory, and specify
`-I<build-dir>/include` before `-I<top-dir>/include` in `presym.rake`.
So even when someone drops `-I<build-dir>/include` in compiler options,
it just compiles without failure.
The "a"/"*" specifier of the `mrb_get_args()` function will now return `const mrb_value *`.
This is because it is difficult for the caller to check if it is an array object and write-barrier if necessary.
And it requires calling `mrb_ary_modify()` on the unmodified array object, which is also difficult (this is similar to #5087).
- Integrate `Fixnum` and `Integer`
- Remove `Integral`
- `int / int -> int`
- Replace `mrb_fixnum()` to `mrb_int()`
- Replace `mrb_fixnum_value()` to `mrb_int_value()`.
- Use `mrb_integer_p()` instead of `mrb_fixnum_p()`
* The `Fixnum` constant is now an alias for the `Integer` class.
* Remove `struct mrb_state::fixnum_class` member.
If necessary, use `struct mrb_state::integer_class` instead.
`mrb_get_arg1()` raises `ArgumentError` if the method does not receive one
argument.
And replaces all `mrb_get_args(mrb, "o", &arg)` by the new function.
The binary sizes (gems are only `mruby-bin-mruby`) are reduced slightly in
my environment than before the introduction of new specifiers/modifiers
(5116789a) with this change.

BTW, I accidentally changed `tasks/toolchains/visualcpp.rake` at #4613,
so I put it back.
Before this patch:
$ bin/mruby -e 'Struct.new(:a,:b).new[-3]'
#=> offset -1 too small for struct(size:2) (IndexError)
After this patch (same as Ruby):
$ bin/mruby -e 'Struct.new(:a,:b).new[-3]'
#=> offset -3 too small for struct(size:2) (IndexError)
The following branch condition is always true:
// mrbgems/mruby-struct/src/struct.c:187 in make_struct_define_accessors()
if (is_local_id(mrb, name) || is_const_id(mrb, name)) {
Before this patch:
$ bin/mruby -e 'p Struct.new("A-")'
#=> Struct::"A-"
After this patch:
$ bin/mruby -e 'p Struct.new("A-")'
#=> NameError: identifier A- needs to be constant
Now the method tables (in classes/modules and caches) keeps C function
pointers without wrapping in `struct RProc` objects. For the sake of
portability, `mrb_method_t` is represented by the struct and union, but
if the most significant bit of the pointer is not used by the platform,
`mrb_method_t` should be packed in `uintptr_t` to reduce memory usage.
`MRB_METHOD_TABLE_INLINE` is turned on by default for linux.
It reduces the memory consumption and sometimes improve the
performance as well. For example, the consumed memory size
of `bench/bm_ao_render.rb` is reduced from 1.2GB to 1GB, and
its total execution time become 18.795 sec from 22.229 sec.
