Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto cddaec7264 mruby-compiler: bail out of array-literal pattern match opt on splat
The optimization that skips `deconstruct` and the size check when the
case/in value is an array literal trusted node count, ignoring splat.
An element like `*a` expands at runtime, so [*a] was treated as length
1 and matched only patterns of that length.

Fixes #6854.

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
