The Difference
Since Ruby1.9, the keyword arguments were emulated by Ruby using the hash
object at the bottom of the arguments. But we have gradually moved toward
keyword arguments separated from normal (positinal) arguments.
At the same time, we value compatibility, so that Ruby3.0 keyword
arguments are somewhat compromise. Basically, keyword arguments are
separated from positional arguments, except when the method does not
take any formal keyword arguments, given keyword arguments (packed
in the hash object) are considered as the last argument.
And we also allow non symbol keys in the keyword arguments. In that
case, those keys are just passed in the `**` hash (or raise
`ArgumentError` for unknown keys).
The Instruction Changes
We have changed `OP_SEND` instruction. `OP_SEND` instruction used to
take 3 operands, the register, the symbol, the number of (positional)
arguments. The meaning of the third operand has been changed. It is now
considered as `n|(nk<<4)`, where `n` is the number of positional
arguments, and `nk` is the number of keyword arguments, both occupies
4 bits in the operand.
The number `15` in both `n` and `nk` means variable sized arguments are
packed in the object. Positional arguments will be packed in the array,
and keyword arguments will be packed in the hash object. That means
arguments more than 14 values are always packed in the object.
Arguments information for other instructions (`OP_SENDB` and `OP_SUPER`)
are also changed. It works as the third operand of `OP_SEND`. the
difference between `OP_SEND` and `OP_SENDB` is just trivial. It assigns
`nil` to the block hidden arguments (right after arguments).
The instruction `OP_SENDV` and `OP_SENDVB` are removed. Those
instructions are replaced by `OP_SEND` and `OP_SENDB` respectively with
the `15` (variable sized) argument information.
Calling Convention
When calling a method, the stack elements shall be in the order of the
receiver of the method, positional arguments, keyword arguments and the
block argument. If the number of positional or keyword arugument (`n` or
`nk`) is zero, corresponding arguments will be empty. So when `n=0` and
`nk=0` the stack layout (from bottom to top) will be:
+-----------------------+
| recv | block (or nil) |
+-----------------------+
The last elements `block` should be explicitly filled before `OP_SEND`
or assigned to `nil` by `OP_SENDB` internally. In other words, the
following have exactly same behavior:
OP_SENDB clears `block` implicitly:
```
OP_SENDB reg sym 0
```
OP_SEND clears `block` implicitly:
```
OP_LOADNIL R2
OP_SEND R2 sym 0
```
When calling a method with only positional arguments (n=0..14) without
keyword arguments, the stack layout will be like following:
+--------------------------------------------+
| recv | arg1 | ... | arg_n | block (or nil) |
+--------------------------------------------+
When calling a method with arguments packed in the array (n=15) which
means argument splat (*) is used in the actual arguments, or more than
14 arguments are passed the stack layout will be like following:
+-------------------------------+
| recv | array | block (or nil) |
+-------------------------------+
The number of the actual arguments is determined by the length of the
argument array.
When keyword arguments are given (nk>0), keyword arguments are passed
between positional arguments and the block argument. For example, when
we pass one positional argument `1` and one keyword argument `a: 2`,
the stack layout will be like:
+------------------------------------+
| recv | 1 | :a | 2 | block (or nil) |
+------------------------------------+
Note that keyword arguments consume `2*nk` elements in the stack when
`nk=0..14` (unpacked).
When calling a method with keyword arguments packed in the hash object
(nk=15) which means keyword argument splat (**) is used or more than
14 keyword arguments in the actual arguments, the stack layout will
be like:
+------------------------------+
| recv | hash | block (or nil) |
+------------------------------+
Note for mruby/c
When mruby/c authors try to support new keyword arguments, they need
to handle the new meaning of the argument information operand. If they
choose not to support keyword arguments in mruby/c, it just raise
error when `nk` (taken by `(c>>4)&0xf`) is not zero. And combine
`OP_SENDV` behavior with `OP_SEND` when `n` is `15`.
If they want to support keyword arguments seriously, contact me at
<matz@ruby.or.jp> or `@yukihiro_matz`. I can help you.
Running pre-commit with GitHub Actions now gives us more tests and coverage
Remove duplicate GitHub Actions for merge conflicts and trailing whitespace
Remove duplicate checks for markdownlint and yamllint from the GitHub Super-Linter
Add new custom pre-commit hook running with a shell script to sort alphabetically and uniquify codespell.txt
Add new pre-commit hook to check spelling with codespell
https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell
Fix spelling
In the ancient Ruby, symbols are represented by integers. In that era,
to get string representation from integers, we used `Integer#id2sym`
method. Later, `Symbol` was introduced, and `id2sym` was used for
compatibility. Today, no one uses `id2sym` any longer. It is described
in ISO 30170:2012 standard but I consider it as a mistake.
The GitHub Super Linter is a more robust and better supported
tool than the current GitHub Actions we are using.
Running these checks:
ERROR_ON_MISSING_EXEC_BIT: true
VALIDATE_BASH: true
VALIDATE_BASH_EXEC: true
VALIDATE_EDITORCONFIG: true
VALIDATE_MARKDOWN: true
VALIDATE_SHELL_SHFMT: true
VALIDATE_YAML: true
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/super-linterhttps://github.com/github/super-linter
Added the GitHub Super Linter badge to the README.
Also updated the pre-commit framework and added
more documentation on pre-commit.
Added one more pre-commit check: check-executables-have-shebangs
Added one extra check for merge conflicts to our
GitHub Actions.
EditorConfig and Markdown linting.
Minor grammar and spelling fixes.
Update linter.yml
#### Before this patch:
```console
$ bin/mruby -e 'p(Float::NAN/0)'
Infinity
```
#### After this patch (same as Ruby):
```console
$ bin/mruby -e 'p(Float::NAN/0)'
NaN
```
It used to be return the default value if available, but it should
ignore the default value for behavior consistency. CRuby will adopt
this behavior too in the future. [ruby-bugs:16908]

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.
- 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()`
Trailing `.0` is removed from `Float#to_s` and `Float#inspect` at
9d08025b. However, I think the more human-readable format is better
for `Float#inspect`.
For example, in the `Float#to_s` format, the failure message is not
well understood when testing values including types by `eql?` (e.g.
`Numeric#step` test).
```ruby
assert "example" do
exp = 1.0
act = 1
assert_operator(exp, :eql?, act) #=> Expected 1 to be eql? 1.
end
```
* 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.
