Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto b325ad991b mruby-compiler: complete NODE_ALIAS codegen cleanup
Removed traditional NODE_ALIAS case from main codegen() switch and
inlined codegen_alias() logic directly into gen_alias_var(). This
eliminates the hybrid approach that created temporary stack structures
and provides direct access to variable-sized node fields.

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
