We have introduced following new instructions.
* `OP_LAMBDA16`
* `OP_BLOCK16`
* `OP_METHOD16`
* `OP_EXEC16`
Each instruction uses 16 bits operand for `reps` index. Since new
instructions are added, `mruby/c` VM should be updated.
Due to new instructions, dump format compatibility is lost, we have
increased `RITE_BINARY_MAJOR_VER`.
In addition, we have decreased the size of `refcnt` in `mrb_irep` from
`uint32_t` to `uint16_t`, which is reasonably big enough.
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.
When I `#call` the "proc" object created by the `mrb_proc_new_cfunc()` function from Ruby space, the return value did not go into the correct stack position.
This can destroy the calling variable.
This issue is now caused by #5272. sorry.
This enhances self-containment.
- Changed the `mrb_callinfo::pc` field to point to itself.
Previously it indicated the return destination of the previous call level.
`mrb_callinfo::pc` will now hold the address to its own `proc->body.irep->iseq`.
- Removed `mrb_callinfo::err` field.
This is because `mrb_callinfo::pc - 1` is semantically the same as the previous `err`.
- The `pc0` and `pc_save` variables in `mrb_vm_exec()` are no longer needed and have been deleted.
- It removes the argument because `cipush()` doesn't need to save the previous `pc`.
This enhances self-containment.
Previously `mrb_context::stack` had the current call level stack, but now it owns it.
The `mrb_context::stack` field, which is no longer needed, will be removed.
Jump target address is `operand (16bit)` + `address of next instruction`.
In addition, `ilen` was made `uint32_t` so that `iseq` length limitation
of 65536 is removed. Only jump target address should be within signed
16bit (-32768 .. 32767).
To be also able to build mruby without presym in the future. However,
`MRB_QSYM` has been removed and changed as follows:
### Example
| Type | Symbol | Previous Style | New Style |
|---------------------------|--------|------------------|----------------|
| Operator | & | MRB_QSYM(and) | MRB_OPSYM(and) |
| Class Variable | @@foo | MRB_QSYM(00_foo) | MRB_CVSYM(foo) |
| Instance Variable | @foo | MRB_QSYM(0_foo) | MRB_IVSYM(foo) |
| Method with Bang | foo! | MRB_QSYM(foo_b) | MRB_SYM_B(foo) |
| Method with Question mark | foo? | MRB_QSYM(foo_p) | MRB_SYM_Q(foo) |
| Mmethod with Equal | foo= | MRB_QSYM(foo_e) | MRB_SYM_E(foo) |
This change makes it possible to define, for example, `MRB_IVSYM(foo)` as
`mrb_intern_lit(mrb, "@" "foo")`, which is useful if we support building
without presym in the future.
New instructions:
* OP_LOADL16
* OP_LOADSYM16
* OP_STRING16
Size of pools, symbols are `int16_t` but offset representation in the
bytecode was 8 bits. Size of child `irep` array is `int16_t`, too but
this change does not address it.
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).
Rename new functions:
- `mrb_convert_type(mrb,val,type,tname,method)`
=> `mrb_type_convert(mrb,val,type,tname,method)`
- `mrb_check_convert_type(mrb,val,type,tname,method)`
=> `mrb_type_convert_check(mrb,val,type,tname,method)`
Old names are defined by macros (support `tname` drop and
`char*` => `mrb_sym` conversion).
In the past code, the current `callinfo (ci)` was modified, thus it was
possible to pop `ci` beyond the `cibase`, that could cause out of memory
bound access for the code like the following:
```ruby
def m2
lambda {
Proc.new {
return :return # return from the method
}
}.call.call
:never_reached
end
p m2
```
By definition `mrb_assert()` called only when `MRB_DEBUG` is defined too.
But make I wanted to make clear that the local variable `current_checkpoint_tag`
is only accessed when `MRB_DEBUG` is set by wrapping with `DEBUG_ONLY_EXPR()`.
- 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()`
