It is not decides by the extension.
In order to be recognized as a `.mrb` file, the following three points must be satisfied:
- File starts with "RITE"
- At least `sizeof(struct rite_binary_header)` bytes can be read
- `NUL` is included in the first 64 bytes of the file
If these are not met, it is judged as a text file and it is processed as a Ruby script.
The `bin/mruby -b` switch is still available which treats the given file as a `.mrb` file.
New `MRB_API` function:
- `include/mruby/compile.h` and `mrbgems/mruby-compiler/core/parse.y`
- `mrb_load_detect_file_cxt()` (remove with `MRB_DISABLE_STDIO`)
NOTE:
- Even script files now always open in binary mode for `bin/mruby`.
The `\r\n` is handled by the `nextc()` function already, so there is no problem even on Windows.
- The `nextc0()` function in `mrbgems/mruby-compiler/core/parse.y` can now specify a string buffer and a file pointer at the same time.
In this case, get it from the string buffer first.

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.
Since `R-assignment` in CRuby is abandoned. Single-line pattern matching
in `mruby` only matches single local variable at the moment. Currently
it works as a right assignment to a local variable. It will be enhanced
in the future.
- `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.
- It can now deal with operands in the range of `OP_EXT*`.
- It can now call the same method as the variable name without arguments.
```ruby
def a
"Safe!"
end
a = "Auto!"
eval "a()" # call method `a`
```
Recent `bison` warns for `%pure-parser`. We kept it since MacOS only
provide ancient `bison`, but the warning is noisy and there's no hope
that Apple will upgrade `bison`. MacOS users must install the newer
version of `bison`, by typing `brew install bison` for example.
Note that `brew` does not overwrite the `bison` execution path
automatically, so you need to update your `.bash_profile` as instructed
by `brew`.
