Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 7e28e68dca string.c: add mrb_utf8_to_buf() to consolidate UTF-8 encoding
Extract duplicated UTF-8 codepoint-to-bytes encoding into a shared
function in src/string.c. Update all gems to use it:

- mruby-sprintf: %c specifier
- mruby-io: putc
- mruby-string-ext: Integer#chr
- mruby-pack: pack("U")
- mruby-compiler: Unicode escapes in parser

Also use existing mrb_utf8len() in io.c for character length detection.

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
