* 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.
We don't need to require valid STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR. If we require it,
we can't use mruby on an environment that doesn't have valid
STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR such as Windows service process. Windows service
process doesn't have valid STDIN.
In the case of `y.tab.o`, `y.tab.d` was not read, so `y.tab.c` was not
recompiled by updating header files.
It seemed that the cause was overwriting the rake rule, so I deleted
unnecessary settings.
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.
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.
In addition, update the documents referring `build_config.rb` which is
no longer used. The new `build_config.rb` describes the new configuration
structure in the comment.
The "a"/"*" specifier of the `mrb_get_args()` function will now return `const mrb_value *`.
This is because it is difficult for the caller to check if it is an array object and write-barrier if necessary.
And it requires calling `mrb_ary_modify()` on the unmodified array object, which is also difficult (this is similar to #5087).
Files under `test/t` and `mrbgem/*/test` are for tests, not for actual
execution. So symbols in those files need not to be pre-allocated. This
change slightly reduce the memory consumption.
`MRB_TRY()` does not work when compiled by C compiler with `cxx_exception`,
due to the mixture of `setjmp()` used by `mirb.c` and `throw` used by
the core. The original intension of e2e6554b56 is to protect code from
signal interruption, but the signal interruption is not well-defined in
mruby anyway.
- `mrb_check_intern()` to return `mrb_value`
- `mrb_intern_check()` to return `mrb_sym` [NEW]
Other new functions:
- `mrb_intern_check_cstr()`
- `mrb_intern_check_str()`
Rename new functions:
- `mrb_convert_type(mrb,val,type,tname,method)`
=> `mrb_type_convert(mrb,val,type,tname,method)`
- `mrb_check_convert_type(mrb,val,type,tname,method)`
=> `mrb_type_convert_check(mrb,val,type,tname,method)`
Old names are defined by macros (support `tname` drop and
`char*` => `mrb_sym` conversion).
