mruby restriction:
`String#squeeze` can take more than 1 pattern arguments in CRuby,
in that case, the intersection of patterns will be used to match.
But in mruby, it doesn't take multiple patterns.
This patch is based on `mruby/c` implementation by Hirohito Higashi.
We might need to add `#tr_s`, `#squeeze` and `#delete` as well.
Adding them should not be too hard using functions we implemented here.
Even though `Symbol#to_proc` is not included in ISO standard, the
`some_method(&:method_name)` is used very widely and convenient.
So we moved it to the core.
The ISO standard does not include implicit type conversion using
`to_int`, `to_str` and sometimes `to_f`. For the compactness of the
mruby implementation, maybe we should remove those implicit conversion
from mruby.
I misunderstood the return value from `snprintf()`, which is NOT number
of characters written in buffer, but the number of character the buffer
has to have to write the complete output.
* Method implementation functions made `static`.
* Function declaration style has been changed.
* Unnecessary header file `mrb_sleep.h` removed.
* Used `mrb_get_args()` instead of self parsing.
* Indentation kept untouched.
We assume meta-programming is less used in embedded environments.
We have moved following methods:
* Kernel module
global_variables, local_variables, singleton_class,
instance_variables, instance_variables_defined?, instance_variable_get,
instance_variable_set, methods, private_methods, public_methods,
protected_methods, singleton_methods, define_singleton_methods
* Module class
class_variables, class_variables_defined?, class_variable_get,
class_variable_set, remove_class_variable, included_modules,
instance_methods, remove_method, method_removed, constants
* Module class methods
constants, nesting
Note:
Following meta-programming methods are kept in the core:
* Module class
alias_method, undef_method, ancestors, const_defined?, const_get,
const_set, remove_const, method_defined?, define_method
* Toplevel object
define_method
`mruby-metaprog` gem is linked by default (specified in default.gembox).
When it is removed, it will save 40KB (stripped:8KB) on x86-64
environment last time I measured.
