Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 8967ad200a mruby-compiler: convert new_const to always use variable-sized nodes
Remove conditional logic from new_const() and inline new_const_var() helper
function for cleaner implementation. Update codegen to handle NODE_CONST
in both variable-sized access and assignment contexts.

Changes:
- Remove var_nodes_enabled conditional in new_const()
- Inline new_const_var() logic directly into new_const()
- Remove new_const_var() function and declaration
- Remove NODE_CONST case from main codegen() switch
- Add NODE_CONST support in gen_assignment() for variable-sized nodes
- Inline codegen_const() logic into gen_const_var()
- Remove traditional codegen_const() function

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
