Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 39cf3038c6 mruby-compiler: remove redundant fields from call node structure
Remove argc, has_kwargs, has_block, and reserved fields from
mrb_ast_call_node since this information can be determined from the
callargs structure at runtime. Simplify new_call() and call_with_block()
functions to eliminate field analysis during parsing.

Add callargs_empty() helper function to check for empty arguments and
update gen_if_var() to use it instead of accessing removed argc field.

This change reduces memory usage per call node while maintaining full
functionality through runtime analysis of the callargs structure.

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
