Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto a11a3f2fe6 mruby-compiler: implement NODE_BIGINT for optimal integer handling
Replace dual integer parsing paths with two-tier system:
- NODE_INT stores int32_t values directly for common case
- NODE_BIGINT stores string representation for overflow values
- Custom read_int32() function provides locale-independent parsing
- Remove unused readint() function from codegen

This eliminates confusing dual code paths while maintaining performance
for the majority of integer literals that fit in 32-bit range.

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
