Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 82180d040b codegen.c: fix regexp literal with encoding to pass nil for options; fix #6666
restore correct argument passing for Regexp.compile when encoding is
present but flags are not. regexp literals like /a/n should compile to
Regexp.compile("a", nil, "n") with 3 arguments, not
Regexp.compile("a", "n") with 2 arguments.

the bug was introduced during refactoring when the nil-insertion logic
for the options parameter was accidentally omitted. now properly inserts
OP_LOADNIL when flags are absent but encoding is present.

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
