Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 626c17d20b mruby-compiler: complete NODE_HASH and NODE_KW_HASH migration to variable-sized nodes
Remove traditional NODE_HASH and NODE_KW_HASH cases from switch statement.
Inline codegen_hash logic into gen_kw_hash_var and remove unused codegen_hash function.

Parser already creates variable-sized nodes exclusively, so all hash operations
now route through gen_hash_var() and gen_kw_hash_var() respectively.

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
