Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 20b9002214 class.c: merge conditional methods into ROM tables
Move conditional mrb_define_method_id() calls into ROM entry
arrays using #ifdef guards. With linear search, sizeof in
MRB_MT_ROM_TAB() adjusts automatically after preprocessing.

Cross-class ROM tables (methods a gem defines on a class it does
not own) are reverted to mrb_define_method_id(). Multiple gems
should not add ROM table layers to the same class; each layer
costs a 16-byte mrb_mt_tbl struct in RAM and deepens the lookup
chain. Use mrb_define_method_id() for cross-class methods.

mruby-rational

This mrbgem provides a Rational class for mruby, allowing you to work with rational numbers (fractions).

Usage

To use the Rational class, you first need to include the mrbgem in your mruby build.

Include in build_config.rb

Add the following line to your build_config.rb file:

conf.gem :core => 'mruby-rational'

Creating Rational Objects

You can create Rational objects using the Rational() method:

r1 = Rational(1, 2)  # Represents 1/2
r2 = Rational(3, 4)  # Represents 3/4

Arithmetic Operations

The Rational class supports standard arithmetic operations:

r_add = Rational(1, 2) + Rational(1, 3)  # (5/6)
r_sub = Rational(1, 2) - Rational(1, 3)  # (1/6)
r_mul = Rational(1, 2) * Rational(1, 3)  # (1/6)
r_div = Rational(1, 2) / Rational(1, 3)  # (3/2)

Available Methods

The Rational class provides the following important methods:

  • numerator: Returns the numerator of the rational number.
  • denominator: Returns the denominator of the rational number.
  • to_f: Converts the rational number to a Float.
  • to_i: Converts the rational number to an Integer (truncates towards zero).
  • to_s: Returns a string representation of the rational number (e.g., "1/2").
  • inspect: Returns a string representation suitable for debugging (e.g., "(1/2)").
  • ==: Checks for equality with another number.
  • <=>: Compares the rational number with another number.
  • positive?: Returns true if the rational number is greater than zero.
  • negative?: Returns true if the rational number is less than zero.

Error Handling

The mrbgem handles common errors such as:

  • DivisionByZeroError: Raised when attempting to create a rational number with a denominator of zero.
  • RangeError: Raised in case of integer overflow during calculations.
