Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto eea9e30979 mruby-compiler: fix heap-buffer-overflow in pattern alternation codegen
The JMPNOT-to-JMPIF optimization in NODE_PAT_ALT assumed the fail
chain always ends with OP_JMPNOT (format BS), but NODE_PAT_PIN
generates OP_JMP (format S) when the pinned variable is undefined.
Writing OP_JMPIF at left_fail-2 then corrupts the preceding
instruction's operand, causing out-of-bounds pool access at runtime.

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
