Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto d98d62ee35 hash.c: change __except to take array argument
mrb_get_args(mrb, "*", ...) internally allocates an array when
arguments are on the stack, so passing keys as direct arguments
did not actually avoid allocation. Change __except to take a
single array argument instead, which is simpler and GC-safe.

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
