Module#include and Module#prepend now affect classes and modules
that have already included or prepended the receiver, mirroring the
behavior if the arguments were included in the receiver before
the other modules and classes included or prepended the receiver.
```ruby
class C; end
module M1; end
module M2; end
C.include M1
M1.include M2
p C.ancestors #=> [C, M1, M2, Object, Kernel, BasicObject]
```
Integrate the implementation with `Module#define_method`.
- Introduce the internal function `mrb_mod_define_method_m()` (no static)
- The `Object#define_singleton_method` method can now accept a second argument
The `mrb_get_argv()` function will now return `const mrb_value *`.
This is because it is difficult for the caller to check if it is a splat argument (array object) and to write-barrier if necessary.
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).
- `mrb_check_intern()` to return `mrb_value`
- `mrb_intern_check()` to return `mrb_sym` [NEW]
Other new functions:
- `mrb_intern_check_cstr()`
- `mrb_intern_check_str()`
They are basically the copy of instance variable tables. On my Linux
box, memory consumption of `mrbtest` measured by `valgrind` is:
- old: 17,683,830 bytes
- new: 14,283,749 bytes
- 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()`
They used to return `mrb_value` but now return `mrb_sym` for consistency
with other `intern` functions. If symbols are not defined, `check`
functions return `0`, instead of `nil` in the past.
It causes API incompatibility but I believe few people use those
functions out of the core, and those changes are very easy to handle,
hopefully.
* 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_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.
Introduced `MRB_NO_METHOD_CACHE` which is inverse of `MRB_METHOD_CACHE`
that should be enabled intestinally. In addition, the default cache is
made bigger (128 -> 256).
- 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 *`.
`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.
When using `mrb_any_to_s()` for debugging purposes, giving an object
whose class is `NULL` no longer causes a SIGSEGV and no crash.
This is achieved by making `mrb_class_name()` and `mrb_str_cat_cstr()`
null safe.
The difference between `mrb_singleton_class` and `mrb_singleton_class_ptr`:
- `mrb_singleton_class_ptr` returns `struct RClass*`.
- `mrb_singleton_class_ptr` returns `NULL` on immediate values where
`mrb_singleton_class` raises exceptions.
#### Example (with `MRB_METHOD_CACHE`)
```ruby
GC.start
c = Class.new
p c #=> #<Class:0x7fd6a180e790>
c.new #=> cache `c.new`
c = nil
GC.start #=> `c` is GCed
r = Range.dup
p r #=> #<Class:0x7fd6a180e790>
# [same pointer as `c`]
r.new(2, 3) #=> ArgumentError: 'initialize':
# wrong number of arguments (2 for 0)
# [`c.new` is called instead of `r.new`]
```
#### Cause
An entry of method cache is identified by class pointer and method
id. However, reusing memory after GC may create a class with the same
pointer as the cached class.
#### Treatment
Cleared method caches of the class when the class is GCed.
If ":" is after "|" and there is no "?" or "*", the keyword argument
could not be obtained and it was not initialized with `undef`.
For example: "|oo:"
- Use `mrb_sym_name_len` instead of `mrb_sym_name` (class name should not
be escaped).
- Avoid `mrb_str_dup` (it is unnecessary to be shared string because it is
changed).
