Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 5f43603c52 mruby-compiler: remove obsolete NODE_STR and NODE_XSTR node types
Remove NODE_STR and NODE_XSTR enum values and all associated code as these
traditional node types are no longer used with the new cons list string
representation. The compiler now exclusively uses the cons list format
((len . str) (-1 . node)...) for all string types.

- remove NODE_STR and NODE_XSTR from node_type enum in node.h
- remove NODE_STR and NODE_XSTR cases from codegen.c switch statements
- remove NODE_STR and NODE_XSTR cases from parse.y codedump functions
- remove unused codegen_str(), codegen_xstr(), and gen_xstr_var() functions
- update codegen_dregx() to use cons list string handling instead of
  checking for obsolete NODE_STR
- preserve str_dump() function wrapped in #if 0 for future codedump updates
- update comment in node.h to reflect current node types

NODE_DSTR remains available for dynamic string interpolation. All string
functionality continues to work via the cons list representation and
variable-sized node implementations.

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
