Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 9b66ec82c4 mruby-compiler: fix hash pattern matching for CRuby compatibility
Add key existence check using key?() before value access, so that
missing keys correctly fail to match (e.g. {b: 1} no longer matches
{a: nil} pattern). Implement **nil and empty {} exact match via
hash.size == num_keys check. Fix **rest to properly exclude matched
keys using dup + __delete instead of copying the entire hash.

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
