Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto f01cc52835 mruby-compiler: implement variable-sized AST nodes for expression operations
Add support for variable-sized AST nodes for logical and control expression
operations including AND, OR, RETURN, YIELD, and SUPER.

Changes:
- Add variable-sized node structures for expression nodes in node.h
- Add casting and value access macros for expression nodes
- Modify existing expression functions to conditionally use variable-sized versions
- Implement variable-sized node creation functions (new_and_var, new_or_var, etc.)
- Add codegen support for variable-sized expression nodes
- All expression types (AND, OR, RETURN, YIELD, SUPER) now support variable-sized allocation

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
