Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 47d3dd9396 mruby-compiler: remove unused NODE_STR, NODE_XSTR, NODE_REGX, NODE_DREGX cases
remove unused node cases and their corresponding codegen functions from
traditional codegen switch. these nodes are fully migrated to variable-sized
implementation where parser only generates variable-sized nodes via
NODE_VARIABLE wrapper.

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
