Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto f5ce65e418 mruby-compiler: complete NODE_COLON2 and NODE_COLON3 migration to variable-sized nodes
Remove conditional logic from new_colon2() to always create variable-sized
nodes. Implement assignment support for variable-sized constant nodes with
dedicated helper functions. Remove obsolete cons list code paths from
gen_assignment() and codegen().

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
