# mruby configuration macros.
## How to use these macros.
You can use mrbconfs with following ways:
* Write them in `mrbconf.h`.
* Using compiler flags is preferred when building a cross binaries or multiple mruby binaries
since it's easier to use different mrbconf per each `MRuby::Build`.
* Most flags can be enabled by just commenting in.
* Pass them as compiler flags.
* Make sure you pass the same flags to all compilers since some mrbconf(e.g., `MRB_GC_FIXED_ARENA`)
changes `struct` layout and cause memory access error when C and other language(e.g., C++) is mixed.
## stdio setting.
`MRB_DISABLE_STDIO`
* When defined `<stdio.h>` functions won't be used.
* Some features will be disabled when this is enabled:
* `mrb_irep` load/dump from/to file.
* Compiling mruby script from file.
* Printing features in **src/print.c**.
## Debug macros.
`MRB_ENABLE_DEBUG_HOOK`
* When defined code fetch hook and debug OP hook will be enabled.
* When using any of the hook set function pointer `code_fetch_hook` and/or `debug_op_hook` of `mrb_state`.
* Fetch hook will be called before any OP.
* Debug OP hook will be called when dispatching `OP_DEBUG`.
`MRB_DEBUG`
* When defined `mrb_assert*` macro will be defined with macros from `<assert.h>`.
* Could be enabled via `enable_debug` method of `MRuby::Build`.
## Stack configuration
`MRB_STACK_EXTEND_DOUBLING`
* If defined doubles the stack size when extending it.
* Else extends stack with `MRB_STACK_GROWTH`.
`MRB_STACK_GROWTH`
* Default value is `128`.
* Used in stack extending.
* Ignored when `MRB_STACK_EXTEND_DOUBLING` is defined.
`MRB_STACK_MAX`
* Default value is `0x40000 - MRB_STACK_GROWTH`.
* Raises `RuntimeError` when stack size exceeds this value.
## Primitive type configuration.
`MRB_USE_FLOAT`
* When defined single precision floating point type(C type `float`) is used as `mrb_float`.
* Else double precision floating point type(C type `double`) is used as `mrb_float`.
`MRB_WITHOUT_FLOAT`
* When defined removes floating point numbers from mruby.
* It makes mruby easier to handle in "Microcontroller without FPU" and "Kernel Space".
`MRB_INT16`
* When defined `int16_t` will be defined as `mrb_int`.
* Conflicts with `MRB_INT32` and `MRB_INT64`.
`MRB_INT32`
* When defined, or both `MRB_INT16` and `MRB_INT64` are not defined on 32-bit CPU mode, `int32_t` will be defined as `mrb_int`.
* Conflicts with `MRB_INT16` and `MRB_INT64`.
`MRB_INT64`
* When defined, or both `MRB_INT16` and `MRB_INT32` are not defined on 64-bit CPU mode, `int64_t` will be defined as `mrb_int`.
* Conflicts with `MRB_INT16` and `MRB_INT32`.
## Garbage collector configuration.
`MRB_GC_STRESS`
* When defined full GC is emitted per each `RBasic` allocation.
* Mainly used in memory manager debugging.
`MRB_GC_TURN_OFF_GENERATIONAL`
* When defined turns generational GC by default.
`MRB_GC_FIXED_ARENA`
* When defined used fixed size GC arena.
* Raises `RuntimeError` when this is defined and GC arena size exceeds `MRB_GC_ARENA_SIZE`.
* Useful tracking unnecessary mruby object allocation.
`MRB_GC_ARENA_SIZE`
* Default value is `100`.
* Ignored when `MRB_GC_FIXED_ARENA` isn't defined.
* Defines fixed GC arena size.
`MRB_HEAP_PAGE_SIZE`
* Defines value is `1024`.
* Specifies number of `RBasic` per each heap page.
## Memory pool configuration.
`POOL_ALIGNMENT`
* Default value is `4`.
* If you're allocating data types that requires alignment more than default value define the
largest value of required alignment.
`POOL_PAGE_SIZE`
* Default value is `16000`.
* Specifies page size of pool page.
* Smaller the value is increases memory overhead.
## State atexit configuration.
`MRB_FIXED_STATE_ATEXIT_STACK`
* If defined enables fixed size `mrb_state` atexit stack.
* Raises `RuntimeError` when `mrb_state_atexit` call count to same `mrb_state` exceeds
`MRB_FIXED_STATE_ATEXIT_STACK_SIZE`'s value.
`MRB_FIXED_STATE_ATEXIT_STACK_SIZE`
* Default value is `5`.
* If `MRB_FIXED_STATE_ATEXIT_STACK` isn't defined this macro is ignored.
## `mrb_value` configuration.
`MRB_ENDIAN_BIG`
* If defined compiles mruby for big endian machines.
* Used in `MRB_NAN_BOXING`.
* Some mrbgem use this mrbconf.
`MRB_NAN_BOXING`
* If defined represent `mrb_value` in boxed `double`.
* Conflicts with `MRB_USE_FLOAT` and `MRB_WITHOUT_FLOAT`.
`MRB_WORD_BOXING`
* If defined represent `mrb_value` as a word.
* If defined `Float` will be a mruby object with `RBasic`.
## Instance variable configuration.
`MRB_IV_SEGMENT_SIZE`
* Default value is `4`.
* Specifies size of each segment in segment list.
## Reduce heap memory configuration.
`MRB_USE_ETEXT_EDATA`
* If you specify the address of a read-only section when creating a symbol or string, that string will be used as it is.
* Heap memory can be saved.
* Uses `_etext` and `__init_array_start`.
* It must be `_etext < data_addr < &__init_array_start`.
`MRB_NO_INIT_ARRAY_START`
* Ignored if `MRB_USE_ETEXT_EDATA` is not defined.
* Please try if `__init_array_start` is not available.
* Uses `_etext` and `_edata`.
* It must be `_etext < data_addr < _edata`.
`MRB_USE_CUSTOM_RO_DATA_P`
* Takes precedence over `MRB_USE_ETEXT_EDATA`.
* Please try if both `MRB_USE_ETEXT_EDATA` and `MRB_NO_INIT_ARRAY_START` are not available.
* The `mrb_ro_data_p()` function is implemented by the user in an arbitrary file.
* The prototype declaration is `mrb_bool mrb_ro_data_p(const char *ptr)`.
* Return `TRUE` if `ptr` is in read-only section, otherwise return `FALSE`.
## Other configuration.
`MRB_UTF8_STRING`
* Adds UTF-8 encoding support to character-oriented String instance methods.
* If it isn't defined, they only support the US-ASCII encoding.
`MRB_FUNCALL_ARGC_MAX`
* Default value is `16`.
* Specifies 4th argument(`argc`) max value of `mrb_funcall`.
* Raises `ArgumentError` when the `argc` argument is bigger then this value `mrb_funcall`.
`KHASH_DEFAULT_SIZE`
* Default value is `32`.
* Specifies default size of khash table bucket.
* Used in `kh_init_ ## name` function.
`MRB_STR_BUF_MIN_SIZE`
* Default value is `128`.
* Specifies initial capacity of `RString` created by `mrb_str_buf_new` function..
`MRB_METHOD_CACHE`
* Improve performance for method dispatch.
`MRB_METHOD_CACHE_SIZE`
* Default value is `128`.
* Ignored if `MRB_METHOD_CACHE` is not defined.
* Need to be the power of 2.
`MRB_METHOD_TABLE_INLINE`
* Reduce the size of method table.
* Requires LSB of function pointers to be zero.
* For example, you might need to specify `--falign-functions=n` (where `n > 1`) for GCC.
`MRB_ENABLE_ALL_SYMBOLS`
* Make it available `Symbols.all_symbols` in `mrbgems/mruby-symbol-ext`
* Increase heap memory usage.
