Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto d45ec366c5 mruby-compiler: migrate NODE_FOR to variable-sized nodes exclusively
Remove conditional logic and consolidate NODE_FOR implementation to use
variable-sized nodes exclusively. This eliminates dual code paths and
completes the NODE_FOR migration.

Changes:
- inline new_for_var into new_for, remove p->var_nodes_enabled condition
- remove new_for_var function and forward declaration
- enhance gen_for_var with complete for-loop implementation from for_body
- remove codegen_for and for_body functions
- remove NODE_FOR case from main codegen switch (traditional cons-list path)

The for-loop implementation preserves Ruby's each-based semantics with
proper block scoping, argument handling, and loop control (break/next/redo)
while providing better memory efficiency through variable-sized nodes.

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
