Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 1dcf59b372 mruby-compiler: migrate NODE_ENSURE dump to variable-sized nodes
Replace direct cons-list access (tree->car, tree->cdr->cdr) with
proper accessor macros (ENSURE_NODE_BODY, ENSURE_NODE_ENSURE_CLAUSE)
to support variable-sized node structures. Adds null checks for
improved safety and follows the same pattern as other migrated nodes.

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
