Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto b4f6450509 mruby-compiler: do not flip + and - opcode for negative literal
The peephole in gen_addsub() rewrote `q + -n` into OP_SUBI n (and
`q - -n` into OP_ADDI n) by negating n. For numeric receivers this is
equivalent, but for receivers overriding + or - the runtime fallback
dispatches the flipped method, losing the original operator. Restrict
the fold to non-negative immediates; negative falls through to the
normal OP_ADD/OP_SUB path with LOADI of the literal value.

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
