mrb_pool_value is a structure that represents a value in the irep
literal pool and is unrelated to mrb_pool, which performs region-based
memory management. It has been renamed mrb_irep_pool to avoid confusion.
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`.
* use predefined `mrb_ro_data_p()` for user-mode Linux and macOS
* define `MRB_LINK_TIME_RO_DATA_P` if predefined one is used
* configure macro `MRB_USE_LINK_TIME_RO_DATA_P` is no longer used
* contributions for new platforms are welcome
- `#include <math.h>` is done in `mruby.h`.
Eliminate the need to worry about the `MRB_NO_FLOAT` macro.
- Include mruby header files before standard header files.
If the standard header file is already placed before `mruby.h`, the standard header file added in the future tends to be placed before `mruby.h`.
This change should some reduce the chances of macros that must be defined becoming undefined in C++ or including problematic header files in a particular mruby build configuration.
It uses BER number compression of delta of instruction positions and line
numbers. BER compression is a variable length number representation.
* `mrb_debug_line_ary`: array of line numbers represented in `uint16_t`.
`[lineno, lineno, ...]`
* `mrb_debug_line_flat_map`: array of `mrb_irep_debug_info_line`, which
is `struct {uint32_t pos; uint16_t lineno}`, for each line.
* `mrb_debug_line_packed_map` [new]: sequence of BER compressed 2
numbers, `pos_delta, lineno_delta`. Deltas are differences from
previous values (starting `0`). `line_entry_counts` represents total
length of a packed map string for this type.
Add new pool value type `IREP_TT_BIGINT` and generate integer overflow
error in the VM. In the future, `mruby` will support `Bignum` for
integers bigger than `mrb_int` (probably using `mpz`).
`calc_crc_16_ccitt()` consumes a lot of clock cycles in programs like
`mrbtest` which loads a lot of dumped binary. Error detection for flaky
channels should be done in the higher level.
Note: `mruby/c` should be updated to support this change.
Previously I used the `RData` object to avoid a memory leak in `mrb_irep` if `src/load.c` failed.

Considering that the `RProc` object will be created in the subsequent process, it is preferable to create the `RProc` object from the beginning.
Along with this, the inside of `read_irep()` is replaced with the processing centered on the `RProc` object.
The global function that returns the `mrb_irep` pointer is still provided for compatibility.
- `MRB_WITHOUT_FLOAT` => `MRB_NO_FLOAT`
- `MRB_USE_FLOAT` => `MRB_USE_FLOAT32`
The former is to use `USE_XXX` naming convention. The latter is to make
sure `float` is 32bit float and not floating point number in general.
The catch handler table is combined with iseq block.
This is to prevent the structure from growing by adding a field for the
catch handler table to the `mrb_irep` structure.
"iseq block" and "catch handler table":
[number of catch handler table (2 bytes)]
[number of byte code (4 bytes)]
[iseq (any bytes)]
[catch handlers (multiple of 7 bytes)]
catch handler:
[catch type (1 byte)]
[begin offset (2 bytes)]
[end offset (2 bytes)]
[target offset (2 bytes)]
catch type: enum mrb_catch_type (0 = rescue, 1 = ensure)
begin offset: Includes the specified instruction address
end offset: Does not include the specified instruction address
target offset: replaces pc with the specified instruction address
This table is not expanded by `read_irep_record_1()`.
The necessary elements are expanded one by one when used.
Changes:
- `pool format is completely replaced
- supported types: `STR`, `INT32`, `INT64`, `FLOAT`
- `FLOAT` may be replaced by binary representation in the future
- insert `NUL` after string literals in `mrb` files
- `irep->pool` no longer store values in `mrb_value`
- instead it stores in `mrb_pool_value`
- less allocation
- `mrb_irep` can be stored in ROM
