Array#find is an optimized version of Enumerable#find for arrays,
using direct index access instead of each iterator.
Array#rfind finds from the end of the array, returning the first
match when scanning backwards.
Both methods support the ifnone parameter for default values.

Add notes section explaining the optimization behavior:
- Which functions are used for direct access
- When fallback to method dispatch occurs
- Why subclasses can override []/[]=

Replace mrb_obj_class() with direct mrb_obj_ptr(va)->c access:
- Skips unnecessary mrb_immediate_p() check (these types are never immediate)
- Skips mrb_class_real() traversal for singleton classes
- Objects with singleton methods now fall back to method dispatch
(correct behavior since they might have overridden []/[]=)

Add inline optimizations for Array#[]= and Hash#[]= in OP_SETIDX,
matching the pattern established for OP_GETIDX:
- Array class: use mrb_ary_set() directly (integer index only)
- Hash class: use mrb_hash_set() directly
- Subclasses: fall back to method dispatch (can override []=)
- String: unchanged (complex 2-3 argument signature)

Apply the same pattern as the Array/Hash fix: the OP_GETIDX optimization
now only applies to instances of the String class itself. Subclasses
fall back to method dispatch, allowing them to override the [] method.

The OP_GETIDX optimization now only applies to instances of the Hash
class itself. Subclasses fall back to method dispatch, allowing them
to override the [] method. This fixes compatibility with libraries
like mruby-hashie that rely on aliasing/overriding [] in subclasses.
Trade-off: Hash#[] cannot be overridden on the Hash class itself
(only on subclasses). This is a reasonable semantic for mruby since
subclassing is the proper pattern for customization.

The previous optimization for converting JMPNOT+JMP to JMPIF in
alternative patterns had two bugs:
1. It triggered incorrectly for nested alternatives like `1 | 2 | 3`
(parsed as `((1|2)|3)`), causing memory corruption.
2. The chain end detection was wrong - it checked `prev_offset == 0`
but the chain actually ends when `(pos+2) + offset == 0`.
Fix by:
- Only applying optimization when left pattern is not NODE_PAT_ALT
- Correctly detecting chain end by checking if next_addr == 0
- Properly unlinking the last JMPNOT from the fail chain

When the match target is a known array literal, apply these optimizations:
1. Skip #deconstruct call - array literals are already arrays
2. Skip runtime #size check - verify size at compile time
3. Use GETIDX opcode instead of SEND :[] for element access
For the general (non-array-literal) case, improve efficiency by:
- Using EQ opcode instead of SEND :== for size comparison
- Using GE opcode instead of SEND :>= for minimum length check
This reduces bytecode size by ~27% for patterns like:
[1,2] in Array|[Integer,Integer]
Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
When matching array/hash element patterns like `[Integer]` against
values, the element register was being overwritten by codegen before
the comparison. This caused `[1] in [Integer]|[String]` to incorrectly
return false because the bytecode was effectively doing `1.===(Integer)`
instead of `Integer.===(1)`.
Fix by preserving the element value with push() before calling
codegen_pattern, so the element stays at cursp()-1 while the pattern
value is generated at cursp().

In alternative patterns (e.g., `Integer|String`), when the left pattern
has a single JMPNOT immediately before the JMP to success, convert the
JMPNOT to JMPIF and eliminate the JMP instruction.
This saves 3 bytes per optimized alternative pattern.

When pattern matching an array literal against an array pattern with
matching sizes (e.g., `[1,2] => a,b`), skip the runtime calls to
#deconstruct and #size. Instead, directly extract elements using the
VM's GETIDX opcode.
This reduces bytecode from 72 to 28 bytes (61% reduction) and
eliminates 4 method calls per pattern match.

For patterns with a single failure check (like `1 => String`), invert
JMPNOT to JMPIF and eliminate the following JMP instruction.
Before: JMPNOT fail; JMP end; fail: error; end: (8 bytes for jumps)
After: JMPIF end; error; end: (4 bytes for jump)
The optimization only applies when:
1. There's exactly one JMPNOT in the failure chain
2. The JMPNOT is immediately before the JMP (no code between)

For `1 => a`, generate the same bytecode as `a = 1` by leveraging
gen_move's peephole optimization. The peephole optimizer rewrites
LOADI+MOVE into a single LOADI to the target register.
Before: LOADI_1 R2; MOVE R1 R2 (6 bytes)
After: LOADI_1 R1 (3 bytes)

Resolve static function name collision between parse.y and codegen.c
for amalgamation support.
- parse.y: rename get_node_type() to node_type() (keeps validation)
- codegen.c: replace with node_type() macro (NULL-safe via NODE_TYPE)
- node.h: rename VAR_NODE_TYPE() to NODE_TYPE()
Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
The function registers a symbol in the IREP symbol table and returns
its index. The new name better reflects this behavior and avoids
collision with parse.y's new_sym (which creates AST nodes).

Move casecmp_p from mruby-string-ext and mruby-encoding to core as
mrb_strcasecmp_p (predicate function returning mrb_bool). Add
MRB_STR_CASECMP_P macro to internal.h for comparing mrb_value strings
with literal strings.
This eliminates code duplication and avoids static function name
collision for future amalgamation support.

Remove the static int_lshift function and directly call mrb_bint_lshift

Enable -fwasm-exceptions and -sSUPPORT_LONGJMP=wasm for the Emscripten
toolchain. This implements setjmp/longjmp using native WebAssembly
exception handling instructions instead of Asyncify-based emulation.
Benefits:
- Minimal memory overhead (no shadow stack buffer needed)
- No code size penalty
- Works with both C and C++ code
WASM exception handling is supported by all major browsers since 2021-2022
(Chrome 95+, Firefox 100+, Safari 15.2+) and standalone runtimes
(Node.js 17+, Wasmtime, Wasmer).
For older runtimes, users can override with CFLAGS/LDFLAGS environment
variables.

mrb_method_cache_clear() was called unconditionally from class.c and
state.c, but the function definition was guarded by MRB_NO_METHOD_CACHE.
This caused linker errors when building with MRB_NO_METHOD_CACHE defined.
Add empty macro definition when MRB_NO_METHOD_CACHE is defined, matching
the existing pattern used for mrb_mc_clear_by_class().

when running scripts via mruby -e or file, return values are unused.
this adds a no_return_value flag to skip generating unnecessary code.
for parallel assignment like a,b = 1,2:
- before: 18 bytes, 5 registers, creates temporary array
- after: 5 bytes, 3 registers, direct register assignment, no RETURN
the flag is set only for the main program, not for libraries loaded
with -r option. eval() and mirb continue returning values correctly.

When all lhs are local variables and all rhs are simple literals
(integers, nil, true, false), generate values directly into target
registers instead of using temporaries and MOVE instructions.
For example, `a,b = 1,2` now generates:
LOADI_1 R1
LOADI_2 R2
instead of:
LOADI_1 R3
LOADI_2 R4
MOVE R1 R3
MOVE R2 R4

Extract duplicated UTF-8 codepoint-to-bytes encoding into a shared
function in src/string.c. Update all gems to use it:
- mruby-sprintf: %c specifier
- mruby-io: putc
- mruby-string-ext: Integer#chr
- mruby-pack: pack("U")
- mruby-compiler: Unicode escapes in parser
Also use existing mrb_utf8len() in io.c for character length detection.

For integer arguments, encode UTF-8 directly into a stack buffer
instead of creating a temporary mrb_value string via mrb_str_new()
or calling Integer#chr.
- ~5% faster for single %c
- ~15% faster for multiple %c in one format string
- fixes UTF-8 characters (>= 0x80) which previously raised RangeError
Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
IO#putc writes a single character without intermediate string allocation.
- Integer argument: writes byte value (mod 256)
- String argument: writes first character (UTF-8 aware when MRB_UTF8_STRING)
- Returns the argument (IO#putc) or nil (Kernel#putc, matching CRuby)
This provides ~44% memory reduction for character-by-character output
compared to printf "%c" or print ch.chr approaches.

add support for automatic dedentation when typing 'in' at the
beginning of a line, matching the behavior of 'when' for pattern
matching case/in expressions.
Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
pattern matching is now implemented with support for:
- case/in syntax with multiple in-clauses
- array patterns with rest (*) and post-rest elements
- hash patterns with shorthand and rest (**)
- guard clauses (if/unless)
- alternative patterns (|)
- pin operator (^)
- as pattern (=>)
- one-line pattern matching (expr in pat, expr => pat)
- NoMatchingPatternError exception
Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
add support for find patterns in case/in expressions:
- [*pre, elem, *post] - find elem anywhere in array
- [*, elem, *] - anonymous rest (discarded)
- [*pre, a, b, *post] - multiple middle elements
implementation includes:
- grammar rules for find patterns with p_args, p_rest in parse.y
- NODE_PAT_FIND codegen with iterative search loop
- pre/post variable binding via range slicing
- p_const rule to prevent conflict with array literals

- array patterns with rest and nested structures
- hash patterns with shorthand and rest
- guard clauses (if/unless)
- alternative patterns (|)
- pin operator (^)
- as pattern (=>)
- one-line pattern matching (in and =>)
- NoMatchingPatternError handling

add support for one-line pattern matching syntax:
- 'expr in pattern' returns true/false
- 'expr => pattern' raises NoMatchingPatternError on mismatch
add NODE_MATCH_PAT node type for both forms, distinguished by
raise_on_fail flag. grammar rules placed at expr level to avoid
conflict with rescue clause's exception variable syntax.

Add support for brace-less hash patterns at top level of case/in.
`in a: x, b: y` is now equivalent to `in {a: x, b: y}`.
`in a:, b:` shorthand now works with newlines (CRuby compatible).
Changes:
- Add EXPR_VALUE to IS_LABEL_POSSIBLE() to recognize labels after `in`
- Add brace-less hash pattern rules to p_expr
- Change p_hash_elem to use p_as instead of p_expr to avoid recursion
- Add in_kwarg flag to parser state for pattern matching context
- Set in_kwarg in lexer when keyword_in is returned
- Use EXPR_ARG after tLABEL_TAG when in_kwarg is set (makes newlines significant)
Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add pin operator `^var` that matches against existing variable values
instead of creating new bindings. Also add bracket-less array pattern
syntax at top level: `in 1, 2, x` is equivalent to `in [1, 2, x]`.
Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add support for hash patterns in pattern matching expressions:
- {key:} shorthand binds to variable with same name
- {key: pattern} matches key against pattern
- {**rest} captures remaining keys
- {**nil} requires exact match (no extra keys)
- {**} ignores extra keys without capturing
Parser adds new grammar rules (p_hash, p_hash_body, p_hash_elems,
p_hash_elem, p_kwrest) and new_pat_hash() constructor.
Codegen generates code to call deconstruct_keys on the target hash,
then iterates through key-pattern pairs to match each key's value.
Adds Hash#deconstruct_keys method that returns self for pattern matching.
