- `OP_EXCEPT` checks if `mrb->exc` is `NULL`, `MRB_TT_EXCEPTION` or
`MRB_TT_BREAK`.
If `mrb->exc` is `NULL`, it will be replaced with `nil`.
- If `OP_RAISE` is `nil`, it does nothing and the immediately
following instruction is executed (like `OP_NOP`).
Also, in case of `RBreak` object, it moves to the processing for
`break`.
With this change, the instruction name is changed from
`OP_RAISE` to `OP_RAISEIF`.
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
I sometimes see Bison related problems in setting up build environments.
Therefore to remove Bison from build time dependencies, add `y.tab.c`
generated by Bison to the repository.
The reduction of dependency at build time also reduces the labor and time
for setup and installation in CI.
In addition, a path in `#line` directive is converted to a relative path so
that its path is constant regardless of development environments.
- `mrb_convert_type`
- `mrb_check_convert_type`
Those function no longer take `tname` string representation of desired
type, and take method symbols instead of `const char*` names. This is
incompatible change. I hope no third-party gems use those functions.
- The `s` specifier is a string pointer obtained without performing `mrb_str_modify()`, so it cannot be changed.
- The `z` specifier cannot be changed because it is a string pointer obtained by `RSTRING_CSTR()` which returns `const char *`.
Adding MRB_MINGW32_LEGACY in common.h in order to identify the legacy MinGW environment (i.e. NOT to be confused with MinGW-w64).
