Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto dadfac678d mruby-compiler: add pattern matching (case/in) support
Implement Phase 1 of Ruby pattern matching:
- value patterns (literals, constants, nil/true/false)
- variable patterns (binds matched value)
- alternative patterns (pat1 | pat2)
- as patterns (pattern => var)

Pattern matching uses === operator for value comparison,
allowing type checking with class patterns (e.g., in Integer).

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
