In lld linked programs, .rodata comes before .text, thus mrb_ro_data_p
will return false for strings in .rodata. Change the lower bound from
_etext to __ehdr_start to catch these cases. This works for ld.bfd, gold
and lld, and it does not have false positives even if .init_array does
not exist.
Remove the branch that uses _edata: strings in .data can be modified so
this is semantically incorrect. Delete the __APPLE__ branch (its
manpages say get_etext() and get_edata() are strongly discouraged).
.init_array has been adopted by most ELF platforms to supersede .ctors.
Neither _etext nor _edata is used, so rename MRB_USE_ETEXT_EDATA to
MRB_USE_EHDR_START.
`MRB_METHOD_TABLE_INLINE` was fragile. It requires `-falign-functions=n`.
On platform that uses higher bits of function pointers, you can use new
`MRB_METHOD_T_STRUCT` configuration macro.
There are 3 levels of C++ exception handling:
* default - no C++ exception (use setjmp/longjmp)
* enable_cxx_exception (use C++ exceptions with C ABI)
* enable_cxx_abi (use C++ ABI including exceptions)
ref #3267#3470
By this commit, mruby do not use C++ ABI mode unless
you specify explicitly. It compiles C files by C
compilers, with C++ exception enabled when it sees
C++ files in your configured mrbgems.
I haven't tried visualcpp, so please submit an issue
if you see any problem with C++ gems on Windows.
