Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 4982997b04 mruby-compiler: fix colon3 constant lookup; fix #6635, #6636
The bug was in codegen_colon3 which used genop_2(OP_OCLASS, sym)
treating OCLASS as BB format, but OCLASS is B format that only
loads ::Object without a symbol parameter. The fix uses the correct
two-instruction pattern: OCLASS to load Object class, then GETMCNST
to retrieve the constant from it.

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
