Since `R-assignment` in CRuby is abandoned. Single-line pattern matching in `mruby` only matches single local variable at the moment. Currently it works as a right assignment to a local variable. It will be enhanced in the future.

# Build System
|
|
|
|
## `build_config` directory
|
|
|
|
Typical build configuration files are located in `build_config`
|
|
directory. For examples:
|
|
|
|
* `host-gprof`: compiles with `gprof` for performance tuning
|
|
* `host-m32`: compiles in gcc 32bit mode on 64bit platforms
|
|
* `boxing`: compiles all three boxing options
|
|
* `clang-asan`: compiles with `clang`'s Address Sanitizer
|
|
|
|
You can specify the build configration file with the
|
|
`MRUBY_CONFIG` environment variable (or `CONFIG` in short).
|
|
If the value specified by `MRUBY_CONFIG` is not the path to
|
|
the configuration file, `build_config/${MRUBY_CONFIG}.rb` is
|
|
used. So you can specify it as `rake MRUBY_CONFIG=boxing`,
|
|
for example.

# Language Changes
|
|
|
|
## New Syntax
|
|
|
|
We have ported some new syntax from CRuby.
|
|
|
|
* Single line pattern matching (`12 => x`);
|
|
mruby matches only with local variables at the moment
|
|
* Numbered block parameter (`x.map{_1 * 2}`)
|
|
* End-less `def` (`def double(x) = x*2`)

# Configuration Options Changed
|
|
|
|
Some configuration macro names are changed for consistency
|
|
|
|
## `MRB_NO_FLOAT`
|
|
|
|
Changed from `MRB_WITHOUT_FLOAT` to conform `USE_XXX` naming
|
|
convention.
|
|
|
|
## `MRB_USE_FLOAT32`
|
|
|
|
Changed from `MRB_USE_FLOAT` to make sure `float` here means
|
|
using single precision float, and not the opposite of
|
|
`MRB_NO_FLOAT`.
|
|
|
|
## `MRB_USE_METHOD_T_STRUCT`
|
|
|
|
Changed from `MRB_METHOD_T_STRUCT`.
|
|
|
|
To use `struct` version of `mrb_method_t`. More portable but consumes more memory.
|
|
Turned on by default on 32bit platforms.
|
|
|
|
## `MRB_NO_BOXING`
|
|
|
|
Uses `struct` to represent `mrb_value`. Consumes more memory
|
|
but easier to inveticate the internal and to debug. It used
|
|
to be default `mrb_value` representation. Now the default is
|
|
`MRB_WORD_BOXING`.
|
|
|
|
## `MRB_WORD_BOXING`
|
|
|
|
Pack `mrb_value` in an `intptr_t` integer. Consumes less
|
|
memory compared to `MRB_NO_BOXING` especially on 32 bit
|
|
platforms. `Fixnum` size is 31 bits so some integer values
|
|
does not fit in `Fixnum` integers.
|
|
|
|
## `MRB_NAN_BOXING`
|
|
|
|
Pack `mrb_value` in a floating pointer number. Nothing
|
|
changed from previous versions.
|
|
|
|
## `MRB_USE_MALLOC_TRIM`
|
|
|
|
Call `malloc_trim(0)` from mrb_full_gc() if this macro is defined.
|
|
If you are using glibc malloc, this macro could reduce memory consumption.
|
|
|
|
# Internal Changes
|
|
|
|
## `Random` now use `xoshiro128++`.
|
|
|
|
For better and faster random number generation.
