Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto f5f0b9ac51 mruby-compiler: fix pr #6643 to use array_node elements field
pr #6643 fixed node type check but introduced a bug by accessing t->cdr
on a NODE_ARRAY structure. NODE_ARRAY nodes use the elements field, not
cdr. additionally, the fixed rhs path needs to update rhs_reg to point
to where values are actually pushed on the stack.

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
