Formerly, `__send__(*args)` modified `args` with `Array#shift`.
This bug affects optcarrot.
This changeset avoids the array destruction by using
`args = args[1, len-1]`.
### Example
```ruby
# example.rb
class A
def eql?(o)
p self.class
super
end
def hash
1
end
end
class B < A; end
h = {A.new => 1}
h[B.new]
```
#### Before this patch:
```console
$ bin/mruby example.rb
A
```
#### After this patch (same as Ruby)
```console
$ bin/mruby example.rb
B
```
Which loads 16bit integer to the register. The instruction number should
be reorder on massive instruction refactoring. The instruction is added
for `mruby/c` which had performance issue with `OP_EXT`. With this
instruction, `mruby/c` VM can just raise errors on `OP_EXT` extension
instructions.
`mrb_run` requires to push callinfo stack before calling, which is very
hard from outside of `vm.c`. So there should be virtually no correct
usage of the function, hence the cause of #4488. We removed it.
You can use `mrb_top_run(mrb, proc, self, 0)` instead of
`mrb_run(mrb, proc self)`.
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.
When removing elements from an array, it is possible to avoid creating
an empty array.
Before this patch:
```c
mrb_ary_splice(mrb, ary, head, len, mrb_ary_new(mrb));
```
After this patch:
```c
mrb_ary_splice(mrb, ary, head, len, mrb_undef_value());
```
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.
Previously, if `MRB_NAN_BOXING` is defined, for example,
`mrb_cptr_value()` could not keep an odd address.
If it is `MRB_32BIT`, it can be embedded in `NaN` as it is.
If it is `MRB_64BIT`, some operations are shared with `MRB_WORD_BOXING`.
In this case, the MRB_API function `mrb_nan_boxing_cptr_value()` is
defined.
If `mrb->jmp` is `NULL` and the function `mrb_funcall_with_block()` is
called, GC Arena is returned from the function with over-used.
- A normal (no global exodus) return will consume two GC Arena's.
- In the event of an exception, five GC Arena are consumed.
This patch reduces consumption in both cases to one.
Differences from the PR #4940:
* Use simple search for short strings only.
* "short" means `m+n` is shorter than `MRB_QS_SHORT_STRING_LENGTH`.
* The current default value for `MRB_QS_SHORT_STRING_LENGTH` is 2048.
The basic idea of this change is from @dearblue.
Note: the arguments of `mrb_str_pool()` have changed, but the function
is provided for internal use (No `MRB_API`). So basically you don't have
to worry about the change.
Because literal pool may be released by GC.
#### Example:
```ruby
s1 = eval('"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz01"')
GC.start
p s1 #=> "\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x90\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x90\x03\x00stuvwxyz01"
```
