Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 4931570f0c mruby-compiler: convert new_nil and new_self to always use variable-sized nodes
Remove conditional var_nodes_enabled logic from new_nil and new_self functions.
These functions now directly create variable-sized AST nodes using proper
size classes and memory allocation. Remove helper functions new_nil_var and
new_self_var as they are no longer needed.

Also update codegen to handle the new variable-sized node structure:
- Add NODE_VARIABLE handling to gen_assignment function
- Fix self-method call detection in call generation
- Update assignment generation to properly handle variable-sized nil nodes

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
