Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 0d87198c92 mruby-compiler: preserve line number across multi-file boundary
When mrbc compiles multiple input files (e.g. `mrbc -g -o out.mrb
a.rb b.rb`), the bison parser's one-token lookahead can buffer the
final token of one file before partial_hook switches to the next.
By the time bison reduces that token into an AST node,
`mrb_parser_set_filename` has already reset `p->lineno` to 0, so
init_var_header recorded lineno=0 for the previous file's last
statement and codegen propagated the previous instruction's line.

Save the lineno into `prev_file_lineno` immediately before the
reset so init_var_header can restore the correct value when it
detects the lookahead edge case (lineno==0 && filename_index>0).

close #1316

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
