Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 9f0950da13 codegen.c: fix stack tracking in pattern match branching code
When generating code for pattern matching with potential failures, the
success and failure paths both need to pop the matched value. At
runtime, only one path executes. But during codegen, both pop() calls
affected the compile-time stack pointer (cursp), corrupting register
allocation and causing heap-buffer-overflow when accessing symbol
tables with wrong indices.

Fix by saving/restoring the stack pointer around the branch point, so
each path correctly tracks the stack state independently.

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
