Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto af87c87f5f mruby-compiler: remove traditional NODE_POSTEXE support from codegen
remove NODE_POSTEXE from main codegen function and inline gen_postexe_var
into codegen_variable_node. remove unused codegen_postexe function since
NODE_POSTEXE is now only a marker like NODE_ARGS

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
