Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 6c4d98be8b mruby-compiler: implement find pattern matching
add support for find patterns in case/in expressions:
- [*pre, elem, *post] - find elem anywhere in array
- [*, elem, *] - anonymous rest (discarded)
- [*pre, a, b, *post] - multiple middle elements

implementation includes:
- grammar rules for find patterns with p_args, p_rest in parse.y
- NODE_PAT_FIND codegen with iterative search loop
- pre/post variable binding via range slicing
- p_const rule to prevent conflict with array literals

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
