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.
This patch includes modifies by comment of https://github.com/mruby/mruby/pull/5157.
* The term `hash_table` can be misleading because the return value of this
function includes memory usage of entire `Hash` object, including not only
hash table part but also entry list part, etc.
* This function takes a `Hash` object as a receiver and is defined in
`src/hash.c`, so it is natural to have a `mrb_hash_` prefix.
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.
New instructions:
* OP_LOADL16
* OP_LOADSYM16
* OP_STRING16
Size of pools, symbols are `int16_t` but offset representation in the
bytecode was 8 bits. Size of child `irep` array is `int16_t`, too but
this change does not address it.
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()`
* 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.
When a global jump occurs, look at the catch handler table to determine where to jump.
In that case, `pc` already shows the following instruction, but since the table shows `begin_offset ... end_offset`, the comparison is done with `begin_offset < pc && pc <= end_offset`.
If there is a corresponding handler, move `pc` to `handler.target_offset` and continue running the VM.
When a global jump across `ensure` is made by `return`, `break`, `next`, `redo` and `retry`, the extended `RBreak` object saves and restores the C-level execution position.
This extended `RBreak` can have tag information, which makes it a pseudo coroutine (the "tag" mimics CRuby).
The implementation of pseudo coroutines by `RBreak` is summarized by `CHECKPOINT_RESTORE ... CHECKPOINT_MAIN ... CHECKPOINT_END` and `throw_tagged_break` / `unwind_ensure` macros.
The restart of processing is branched by `RBREAK_TAG_FOREACH(DISPATCH_CHECKPOINTS)`.
- Not only `rescue` blocks but also `ensure` blocks are now sandwiched between `OP_EXCEPT` and `OP_RAISEIF`.
- Remove the function `ecall()`.
It is no longer necessary to re-enter the VM to perform an "ensure block".
This will resolves#1888.
- Added instruction `OP_JUW` (Jump while UnWind).
It jumps unconditionally like `OP_JMP`, but searches the catch handler table and executes the ensure block.
Since it searches the catch handler table, it is much heavier than `OP_JMP`.
