Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 2058f7e703 mruby-compiler: remove mrb_ast_head_node and restore SET_LINENO functionality
Remove mrb_ast_head_node structure and cons_head() function while maintaining
accurate line number tracking for debugging. Replace cons_head() calls with
cons() calls but preserve NODE_VARIABLE wrapper as requested.

Key changes:
- Remove mrb_ast_head_node struct and head() macro from node.h
- Remove cons_head_gen() function and cons_head() macro from parse.y
- Update SET_LINENO macro to work with variable-sized nodes:
  SET_LINENO(c,n) (((struct mrb_ast_var_header*)(c)->cdr)->lineno = (n))
- Restore all 11 SET_LINENO calls in grammar rules to maintain accurate
  line number reporting for error messages and debugging
- Convert list1/list2/list3 and all new_*() function calls to use cons()
  instead of cons_head() while keeping NODE_VARIABLE wrapper intact

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
