* In explanation of mruby, the expression `build_config.rb` is frequently
used including official documents, so I think that it will not make sense
if the file is no longer used.
* The `MRUBY_TARGET` mechanism seems to have little improvement, so I don't
think it should be changed to avoid unnecessary confusion.
* `MRUBY_TARGET` and `MRuby.targets` represent somewhat different things,
so using the same term "target" is a bit confusing.
The mechanism that can be written short when using a file under
`build_config` (renamed from `target`) directory remains
(`build_config/${MRUBY_CONFIG}.rb` is used if the path specified
in `MRUBY_CONFIG` doesn't exist).
- `MRB_WITHOUT_FLOAT` => `MRB_NO_FLOAT`
- `MRB_USE_FLOAT` => `MRB_USE_FLOAT32`
The former is to use `USE_XXX` naming convention. The latter is to make
sure `float` is 32bit float and not floating point number in general.
You have to specify `TARGET` to specify a configuration, e.g.
```
rake TARGET=host-debug all test
```
When you port `mruby` to a new configuration:
1. copy an existing configuration under `target` directory
2. modify the new configuration file
3. build using the new configuration
4. send PR if you please
- Use POSIX format instead of GNU extension for `time` command.
For example FreeBSD's `time(1)` does not have GNU extensions available.
- Sort `benchmark/bm_*.rb`.
This is because the order of the bar graph cannot be uniquely
determined depending on the result of `Dir.glob`.
The `${build_dir}/mrbgems/gem_init.c` generation condition has been changed
at #5010, but it is somewhat insufficient, for example, there was a problem
with `rake && rake test`, which was also regenerated in `rake test`.
- Make sure to specify `-std=gnu99` for C compiler flag.
- Make sure to specify `-Wzero-length-array` for C/C++ compiler flag (Clang).
- Extract similar codes.
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.
- `size_t` is more commonly used.
- `len` argument of `mrb_str_new()` is `size_t`.
NOTE:
The test for `%l` is temporarily disabled because adding a new type to
`mrbgems/mruby-test/vformat.c` causes an error (memory error?) on Visual
Studio 2017 in AppVeyor.
work with internationalized versions of Visual Studio. It will capture
the returned string in the local codepage encoding and make ruby exits
with an invalid UTF8 error message.
Also "Version" might be translated and not appear in the output.
There are 3 levels of C++ exception handling:
* default - no C++ exception (use setjmp/longjmp)
* enable_cxx_exception (use C++ exceptions with C ABI)
* enable_cxx_abi (use C++ ABI including exceptions)
