Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 492ccefa25 mruby-compiler: unify loop node dump cases to reduce duplication
Consolidated NODE_WHILE, NODE_UNTIL, NODE_WHILE_MOD, and NODE_UNTIL_MOD
dump cases using a shared dump_loop_node label. All four loop constructs
have identical structure (condition + body) and only differ in their
node type names.

Uses fall-through for the last case (NODE_UNTIL_MOD) to avoid unnecessary
goto. This eliminates code duplication (28 lines -> 12 lines) while
maintaining the same clear output format for each loop type.

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
