Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 6c923dc12c mruby-compiler: eliminate NODE_STR wrapper in NODE_DSYM implementation
Refactored NODE_DSYM to use unified structure directly instead of wrapping
NODE_STR. This eliminates unnecessary allocation and simplifies the AST.

Changes:
- new_dsym() now creates NODE_DSYM directly with mrb_ast_str_node structure
- Parser calls new_dsym(p, n) instead of new_dsym(p, new_str(p, n))
- codegen_dsym() uses gen_string() for proper string generation
- NODE_DSYM dump uses dump_str() for consistent string list handling
- Removed redundant mrb_ast_dsym_node struct definition

This maintains identical functionality while reducing memory overhead
and architectural complexity, with proper string handling to prevent
mrbtest crashes.

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
