The `catch_except_p` flag is used for communicating between parent and
child iseq's that a throw instruction was emitted. So for example if a
child iseq has a throw in it and the parent wants to catch the throw, we
use this flag to communicate to the parent iseq that a throw instruction
was emitted.
This flag is only useful at compile time, it only impacts the
compilation process so it seems to be fine to move it from the iseq body
to the compile_data struct.

If the iseq only contains `opt_invokebuiltin_delegate_leave` insn and
the builtin-function (bf) is inline-able, the caller doesn't need to
build a method frame.
`vm_call_single_noarg_inline_builtin` is fast path for such cases.
`builtin_inline_index` is restored because THEN clause on
`Primitive.mandatory_only?` was compiled twice.
However, f29c9d6d36 skips to compile THEN clause so we don't
need to restore `builtin_inline_index`.
On `f(*a, **kw)` method calls, a rest keyword parameter is identically
same Hash object is passed and it should make `#dup`ed Hahs.

This is a variation of the `defined` instruction, for use when we
are checking for an instance variable. Splitting this out as a
separate instruction lets us skip some checks, and it also allows
us to use an instance variable cache, letting shape analysis
speed up the operation further.
If the previous instruction is not a leaf instruction, then the PC was
incremented before the instruction was ran (meaning the currently
executing instruction is actually the previous instruction), so we
should not increment the PC otherwise we will calculate the source
line for the next instruction.
This bug can be reproduced in the following script:
```
require "objspace"
ObjectSpace.trace_object_allocations_start
a =
1.0 / 0.0
p [ObjectSpace.allocation_sourceline(a), ObjectSpace.allocation_sourcefile(a)]
```
Which outputs: [4, "test.rb"]
This is incorrect because the object was allocated on line 10 and not
line 4. The behaviour is correct when we use a leaf instruction (e.g.
if we replaced `1.0 / 0.0` with `"hello"`), then the output is:
[10, "test.rb"].

It doesn't have the right write barriers in place. For example, there is
rb_mark_set(dump->global_buffer.obj_table);
in the mark function, but there is no corresponding write barrier when
adding to the table in the
`ibf_dump_object() -> ibf_table_find_or_insert() -> st_insert()` code path.
To insert write barrier correctly, we need to store the T_STRUCT VALUE
inside `struct ibf_dump`. Instead of doing that, let's just demote it
to WB unproected for correctness. These dumper object are ephemeral so
there is not a huge benefit for having them WB protected.
Users of the bootsnap gem ran into crashes due to this issue:

Fixes [Bug #19419]
The interrupt check will unintentionally release the VM lock when loading an iseq.
And this will cause issues with the `debug` gem's
[`ObjectSpace.each_iseq` method](0fcfc28aca/ext/debug/iseq_collector.c (L61-L67)),
which wraps iseqs with a wrapper and exposes their internal states when they're actually not ready to be used.
And when that happens, errors like this would occur and kill the `debug` gem's thread:
```
DEBUGGER: ReaderThreadError: uninitialized InstructionSequence
┃ DEBUGGER: Disconnected.
┃ ["/opt/rubies/ruby-3.2.0/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/debug-1.7.1/lib/debug/breakpoint.rb:247:in `absolute_path'",
┃ "/opt/rubies/ruby-3.2.0/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/debug-1.7.1/lib/debug/breakpoint.rb:247:in `block in iterate_iseq'",
┃ "/opt/rubies/ruby-3.2.0/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/debug-1.7.1/lib/debug/breakpoint.rb:246:in `each_iseq'",
...
```
A way to reproduce the issue is to satisfy these conditions at the same time:
1. `debug` gem calling `ObjectSpace.each_iseq` (e.g. [activating a `LineBreakpoint`](0fcfc28aca/lib/debug/breakpoint.rb (L246))).
2. A large amount of iseq being loaded from another thread (possibly through the `bootsnap` gem).
3. 1 and 2 iterating through the same iseq(s) at the same time.
Because this issue requires external dependencies and a rather complicated timing setup to reproduce, I wasn't able to write a test case for it.
But here's some pseudo code to help reproduce it:
```rb
require "debug/session"
Thread.new do
100.times do
ObjectSpace.each_iseq do |iseq|
iseq.absolute_path
end
end
end
sleep 0.1
load_a_bunch_of_iseq
possibly_through_bootsnap
```

With this change, we're storing the iv name on an inline cache on
setinstancevariable instructions. This allows us to check the inline
cache to count instance variables set in initialize and give us an
estimate of iv capacity for an object.
For the purpose of estimating the number of instance variables required
for an object, we're assuming that all initialize methods will call
`super`.
This change allows us to estimate the number of instance variables
required without disassembling instruction sequences.

This was introduced by b609bdeb53
to suppress warnings. However these warngins were deleted by
beae6cbf0f. Therefore these codes
are not needed anymore.
`throw TAG_BREAK` instruction makes a jump only if the continuation of
catch of TAG_BREAK exactly matches the instruction immediately following
the "send" instruction that is currently being executed. Otherwise, it
seems to determine break from proc-closure.
Branch coverage may insert some recording instructions after "send"
instruction, which broke the conditions for TAG_BREAK to work properly.
This change forces to set the continuation of catch of TAG_BREAK
immediately after "send" (or "invokesuper") instruction.

This patch pushes dummy frames when loading code for the
profiling purpose.
The following methods push a dummy frame:
* `Kernel#require`
* `Kernel#load`
* `RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile_file`
* `RubyVM::InstructionSequence.load_from_binary`

Object Shapes is used for accessing instance variables and representing the
"frozenness" of objects. Object instances have a "shape" and the shape
represents some attributes of the object (currently which instance variables are
set and the "frozenness"). Shapes form a tree data structure, and when a new
instance variable is set on an object, that object "transitions" to a new shape
in the shape tree. Each shape has an ID that is used for caching. The shape
structure is independent of class, so objects of different types can have the
same shape.
For example:
```ruby
class Foo
def initialize
# Starts with shape id 0
@a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1
@b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2
end
end
class Bar
def initialize
# Starts with shape id 0
@a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1
@b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2
end
end
foo = Foo.new # `foo` has shape id 2
bar = Bar.new # `bar` has shape id 2
```
Both `foo` and `bar` instances have the same shape because they both set
instance variables of the same name in the same order.
This technique can help to improve inline cache hits as well as generate more
efficient machine code in JIT compilers.
This commit also adds some methods for debugging shapes on objects. See
`RubyVM::Shape` for more details.

As of fbaac837cf, when we were performing
a safe call (`o&.x=`) with a conditional assign (`||= 1`) and discarding
the result the stack would end up in a bad state due to a missing pop.
This commit fixes that by adjusting the target label of the branchnil to
be before a pop in that case (as was previously done in the
non-conditional assignment case).
A common pattern when the block is an explicit parameter is to branch
based on the block parameter instead of using `block_given?`, for
example `block.call if block`.
This commit checks in the peephole optimizer for that case and uses the
getblockparamproxy optimization, which avoids allocating a proc for
simple cases, whenever a getblockparam instruction is followed
immediately by branchif or branchunless.
./miniruby --dump=insns -e 'def foo(&block); 123 if block; end'
== disasm: #<ISeq:foo@-e:1 (1,0)-(1,34)> (catch: FALSE)
local table (size: 1, argc: 0 [opts: 0, rest: -1, post: 0, block: 0, kw: -1@-1, kwrest: -1])
[ 1] block@0<Block>
0000 getblockparamproxy block@0, 0 ( 1)[LiCa]

Previously YARV bytecode implemented constant caching by having a pair
of instructions, opt_getinlinecache and opt_setinlinecache, wrapping a
series of getconstant calls (with putobject providing supporting
arguments).
This commit replaces that pattern with a new instruction,
opt_getconstant_path, handling both getting/setting the inline cache and
fetching the constant on a cache miss.
This is implemented by storing the full constant path as a
null-terminated array of IDs inside of the IC structure. idNULL is used
to signal an absolute constant reference.
$ ./miniruby --dump=insns -e '::Foo::Bar::Baz'
== disasm: #<ISeq:<main>@-e:1 (1,0)-(1,13)> (catch: FALSE)
0000 opt_getconstant_path <ic:0 ::Foo::Bar::Baz> ( 1)[Li]
0002 leave
The motivation for this is that we had increasingly found the need to
disassemble the instructions between the opt_getinlinecache and
opt_setinlinecache in order to determine the constant we are fetching,
or otherwise store metadata.
This disassembly was done:
* In opt_setinlinecache, to register the IC against the constant names
it is using for granular invalidation.
* In rb_iseq_free, to unregister the IC from the invalidation table.
* In YJIT to find the position of a opt_getinlinecache instruction to
invalidate it when the cache is populated
* In YJIT to register the constant names being used for invalidation.
With this change we no longe need disassemly for these (in fact
rb_iseq_each is now unused), as the list of constant names being
referenced is held in the IC. This should also make it possible to make
more optimizations in the future.
This may also reduce the size of iseqs, as previously each segment
required 32 bytes (on 64-bit platforms) for each constant segment. This
implementation only stores one ID per-segment.
There should be no significant performance change between this and the
previous implementation. Previously opt_getinlinecache was a "leaf"
instruction, but it included a jump (almost always to a separate cache
line). Now opt_getconstant_path is a non-leaf (it may
raise/autoload/call const_missing) but it does not jump. These seem to
even out.
catch_excep_t is a field that exists for MJIT. In the process of
rewriting MJIT in Ruby, I added API to convert 1/0 of _Bool to
true/false, and it seemed confusing and hard to maintain if you
don't use _Bool for *_p fields.
There's no point in making a copy of an array just to expand it. Saves
an unnecessary array allocation in the multiple assignment case, with
a 35-84% improvement in affected cases in benchmark/masgn.yml.
This optimizes unbalanced multiple assignment cases such as:
```ruby
a.b, c.d = e, f, g
a.b, c.d, e.f = g, h
```
Previously, this would use:
```
newarray(3)
expandarray(2, 0)
newarray(2)
expandarray(3, 0)
```
These would both allocate arrays. This switches to opt_reverse
with either pop or putnil:
```
pop
opt_reverse(2)
putnil
opt_reverse(3)
```
This avoids an unnecessary array allocation, and results in a 35-76%
performance increase in these types of unbalanced cases (tested with
benchmark/masgn.yml).
