Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 21472638b9 mruby-compiler: implement hash pattern matching
Add support for hash patterns in pattern matching expressions:
- {key:} shorthand binds to variable with same name
- {key: pattern} matches key against pattern
- {**rest} captures remaining keys
- {**nil} requires exact match (no extra keys)
- {**} ignores extra keys without capturing

Parser adds new grammar rules (p_hash, p_hash_body, p_hash_elems,
p_hash_elem, p_kwrest) and new_pat_hash() constructor.

Codegen generates code to call deconstruct_keys on the target hash,
then iterates through key-pattern pairs to match each key's value.

Adds Hash#deconstruct_keys method that returns self for pattern matching.

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
