Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 919cbd8fea mruby-compiler: allow compound statement in tLPAREN_ARG
Change the grammar rule for tLPAREN_ARG from accepting only a
single stmt to accepting compstmt. This allows compound
statements with semicolons inside parenthesized arguments when
the parenthesis is preceded by a space, e.g., `p (f1; f2)`.

This matches the behavior of CRuby 3.3+.

Fixes #6766.

mruby-compiler

This mrbgem provides the mruby compiler, which is responsible for parsing Ruby code and generating mruby bytecode.

Functionality

The mruby-compiler gem includes the following components:

  • Parser: Translates Ruby source code into an abstract syntax tree (AST).
  • Code Generator: Traverses the AST to produce executable mruby bytecode.
  • mrbc executable: A command-line tool for compiling .rb files into .mrb bytecode files.

Usage

The mrbc (mruby-bin-mrbc) executable will generate compiled binary from Ruby programs via this gem.

Example of using mrbc:

# Compile a Ruby script to bytecode
bin/mrbc my_script.rb

# Run the compiled script
bin/mruby my_script.mrb
