On 32-bit with MRB_WORDBOX_NO_FLOAT_TRUNCATE, RFloat stores a double
(8-byte alignment) but GC heap slots only guarantee 4-byte alignment.
Use char array + memcpy accessors to avoid misaligned access (SIGBUS
on MIPS, undefined behavior per C standard).

Introduce "object shapes" (hidden classes) that share IV key
layouts across objects with the same instance variable assignment
order. This eliminates per-object key storage overhead.
Memory savings: ~22% heap reduction for object-heavy workloads
(e.g., 150k objects with 2-6 IVs). Per-object: 40->24 bytes
for 2 IVs. Objects exceeding 16 IVs or using
remove_instance_variable fall back to traditional iv_tbl.

Allow users to provide contiguous memory buffers for GC heap pages
via mrb_gc_add_region(). Region pages are carved from user-owned
buffers and never freed by the GC. This is the foundation for
bitmap GC on embedded targets with fragmented RAM.

Pack pool/syms/reps arrays into a single calloc with the irep struct,
reducing 4 allocations per irep to 1. Arrays are ordered by descending
alignment (pool/reps/syms) to eliminate inter-array padding.

- array.h: disable embedded arrays when MRB_INT64 makes mrb_value
too large to embed (fixes MRB_ARY_EMBED_LEN_MAX assertion)
- error.h: enable MRB_USE_RBREAK_VALUE_UNION for all 32-bit
no-boxing builds (MRB_USE_FLOAT32 is irrelevant without
word/nan boxing)
- gc.c: restrict RVALUE 8-byte alignment padding to
MRB_WORD_BOXING builds (fixes RVALUE size assertion)
- vm.c: guard direct ary->as.ary access with MRB_ARY_NO_EMBED

replace lossy 2-bit truncation with rotation-based encoding for
32-bit + MRB_USE_FLOAT32, matching the technique used for 64-bit
float64. rotl32(bits - ADDEND, 3) maps biased exponents [95, 158]
(actual [-32, +31]) to properly tagged inline values with zero
precision loss. special values (0, Inf, NaN) use sentinel constants;
out-of-range floats fall back to heap-allocated RFloat.
also fix a pre-existing alignment issue: RVALUE was 20 bytes on
32-bit, causing 4-byte-aligned objects to be misidentified as
immediates by word boxing (WORDBOX_IMMEDIATE_MASK=0x07 requires
8-byte alignment). pad RVALUE to 24 bytes on 32-bit + float32.

ROM method tables used static mrb_mt_tbl variables shared
across the process. The next pointer in each wrapper was
mutated by mrb_mt_init_rom(), causing cross-state
contamination when multiple mrb_state instances existed.
Allocate mrb_mt_tbl wrappers per-state via mrb_malloc().
The const mrb_mt_entry[] arrays remain static and shared.
Wrappers are tracked in mrb->rom_mt and freed at mrb_close().
Remove MRB_MT_ROM_TAB macro; add MRB_MT_INIT_ROM macro that
auto-computes size and calls the new mrb_mt_init_rom().

The ROM table types (mrb_mt_entry, mrb_mt_tbl) and macros
(MRB_MT_ENTRY, MRB_MT_ROM_TAB, etc.) are used by 34 files
across core and gems -- they are part of the public method
registration API, not internal implementation details.
Move them to class.h where the rest of the method table API
lives, eliminating the #ifdef MRUBY_CLASS_H guard that was
needed in internal.h.

Replace check_method_noarg() with check_argument_count() that validates
min <= argc <= max using the full aspec stored in mrb_method_t.flags.
This catches ArgumentError earlier at dispatch time, before entering
the C function.
The old check only handled the special case of aspec==0 (NOARG).
The new check extracts REQ, OPT, REST, POST, KEY, and KDICT from
the aspec and validates accordingly. Keyword hash is counted as
a positional arg only when the method doesn't accept keywords.
Remove MRB_METHOD_NOARG_P macro from proc.h (subsumed by aspec check).
Fix 15 incorrect aspec declarations across the codebase that were
exposed by the stricter enforcement.

Move MRB_METHOD_FUNC_FL to bit 24 and visibility flags to
bits 25-26 so that MRB_ARGS_*() values (bits 0-23) can be
stored directly without shifting. This makes MRB_MT_PRIVATE
and MRB_METHOD_PRIVATE_FL the same value, eliminating the
dual-constant confusion and simplifying the MRB_MT_ENTRY()
macro to a single OR operation.

The NOARG flag (bit 2) is now redundant since the full aspec is
stored in bits 4+ of the flags field. Replace the dedicated bit
check with aspec==0 check. Store aspec in define_method_id() for
dynamically defined methods too.

Restore MRB_ARGS_* argument specs and ISO section comments to all
709 ROM method table entries. The aspec is encoded in bits 4-27 of
the flags field; MRB_MT_NOARG is now auto-derived from aspec==0.
Add MRB_MT_ENTRY_PRIVATE() macro for private methods (53 entries)
and MRB_MT_ASPEC() accessor for extracting aspec from flags.

Since ROM table entries are always C functions, have the
MRB_MT_ENTRY() macro set MRB_MT_FUNC automatically. This

Replace binary search with linear scan in mt_get(), mt_put(),
mt_del(), mt_chain_has(), and mrb_mt_foreach(). The method cache
makes repeated lookups O(1), so linear scan on cache misses is
acceptable.
This removes the sorting requirement, allowing ROM entry arrays
to be declared const. On embedded systems, const static data
resides in flash/ROM instead of RAM, saving ~8.4KB for ~700
method entries on 32-bit MCUs.

Add a dedicated uint32_t flags field to mrb_mt_entry instead of
packing flags into the lower bits of mrb_sym via MRB_MT_KEY().
The key field now stores the pure symbol ID with no shift.
On 64-bit, the flags field fills the alignment gap after mrb_sym,
so entry size remains 16 bytes (zero overhead). On 32-bit, entry
size grows from 8 to 12 bytes.
This eliminates the risk of symbol ID overflow from the 4-bit
shift, and the flags field can later store aspec (MRB_ARGS_*)
information that was previously discarded.

Replace the parallel-arrays (struct-of-arrays) ROM method table
layout with an array-of-structs layout where each mrb_mt_entry
bundles its function pointer and symbol key together.
New MRB_MT_ENTRY() and MRB_MT_ROM_TAB() macros simplify ROM table
definitions from a 3-part pattern (SIZE define + anonymous struct +
mrb_mt_tbl) to a 2-part pattern (entries array + mrb_mt_tbl).
Internal mt_* functions in class.c are simplified: single memmove/
memcpy operations replace paired key+value operations.

When mrb_mt_init_rom() is called on a class that already has a
mutable method table (from prior mrb_define_method_id() calls),
the mutable top layer is now frozen in place instead of being
left as a writable layer that wastes RAM on embedded systems.
The frozen bit (bit 29 of alloc field) marks heap-allocated
method table layers as temporarily immutable. Unlike the
readonly bit (bit 30, for true ROM), frozen layers are
automatically unfrozen when methods are later added via
mrb_define_method_raw() or removed via mrb_remove_method().
This preserves the c->mt pointer, which is critical because
iclasses (from module inclusion) hold a copy of it.

`&nil` is recently introduced in CRuby to explicitly declare that
a method does not accept a block. When a block is passed,
ArgumentError "no block accepted" is raised. This is analogous to
`**nil` for keyword arguments.
The noblock flag is encoded in bit 23 of OP_ENTER's aspec operand
(24=n1:m5:o5:r1:m5:k5:d1:b1), avoiding the need for a new opcode.

Previously, removing a ROM method required flattening all chain layers
into a single mutable table. This was O(n) and allocated RAM for all
previously-ROM methods.
Use a tombstone marker (MT_FUNC flag with func=NULL) instead. The
mt_get() lookup treats this as "not found" and stops the chain walk,
hiding the ROM entry while allowing superclass lookup.

Since disable.h was removed, enable.h was the only remaining
dispatch target from presym.h. Inline its contents into presym.h

The _2 suffix variants accept an mrb_state* parameter that is
always ignored with presym enabled. Replace all uses in codegen.c,
parse.y, and y.tab.c with the standard macros. The _2 macro
definitions are kept in presym headers for backward compatibility.

Move String's 46 method definitions from runtime
mrb_define_method_id() calls to a static ROM method table
sorted at init time. mrb_mt_init_rom() sorts the parallel
vals/keys arrays by presym ID and sets the readonly flag.
Expose mt_tbl and related types in internal.h so ROM tables
can be defined in individual source files.
When MRB_NO_PRESYM is defined, falls back to traditional
runtime method registration.

Replace lossy 2-bit truncation with rotation-based encoding for
64-bit word boxing with float64. The new scheme uses
rotl64(float_bits - ADDEND, 3) to embed floats inline with full
52-bit mantissa precision. Floats with exponents outside [-255,+256]
(0.0, NaN, Inf, very small/large values) fall back to heap-allocated
RFloat.

remove per-object gcnext pointer from MRB_OBJECT_HEADER, saving one
word (8 bytes on 64-bit) per object slot. the gray list for tri-color
marking is replaced by a fixed-size stack (MRB_GRAY_STACK_SIZE=1024)
in mrb_gc. when the stack overflows, a linear heap rescan recovers
gray objects.
object slot size: 48 -> 40 bytes (16.7% reduction on 64-bit).
benchmarks show up to 12% RSS reduction on object-heavy workloads
with neutral performance impact.

Add support for brace-less hash patterns at top level of case/in.
`in a: x, b: y` is now equivalent to `in {a: x, b: y}`.
`in a:, b:` shorthand now works with newlines (CRuby compatible).
Changes:
- Add EXPR_VALUE to IS_LABEL_POSSIBLE() to recognize labels after `in`
- Add brace-less hash pattern rules to p_expr
- Change p_hash_elem to use p_as instead of p_expr to avoid recursion
- Add in_kwarg flag to parser state for pattern matching context
- Set in_kwarg in lexer when keyword_in is returned
- Use EXPR_ARG after tLABEL_TAG when in_kwarg is set (makes newlines significant)

during eql? callbacks, array modifications can cause elements in khash to
be freed by GC, leading to use-after-free. create temporary shared copies
of arrays before populating khash to protect elements during callbacks.
Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
The primary reason is to fix an issue that occurs when an element is removed from the khash data during the `KHASH_FOREACH()` loop.
If the value of `kh_end()` becomes smaller than `k` during the loop, it will repeat a meaningless internal loop until an integer overflow occurs.
__builtin_setjmp/longjmp are x86/x86_64 specific gcc intrinsics
and not supported on arm64. windows arm64 with msys2 clangarm64
now correctly falls through to standard setjmp/longjmp.
