This makes it consistent with calling private attribute assignment
methods, which currently is allowed (e.g. `self.value =`).
Calling a private method in this way can be useful when trying to
assign the return value to a local variable with the same name.
[Feature #11297] [Feature #16123]
The output of RubyVM::InstructionSequence#to_binary is extremely large.
We have reduced the output of #to_binary by more than 70%.
The execution speed of RubyVM::InstructionSequence.load_from_binary is about 7% slower, but when reading a binary from a file, it may be faster than the master.
Since Bootsnap gem uses #to_binary, this proposal reduces the compilation cache size of Rails projects to about 1/4.
See details: [Feature #16163]
RubyVM::InstructionSequence.to_binary generates a bytecode binary
representation. To check compatibility with binary and loading
MRI we prepared major/minor version and compare them at loading
time. However, development version of MRI can change this format
but we can not increment minor version to make them consistent
with Ruby's major/minor versions.
To solve this issue, we introduce new minor version scheme
(binary's minor_version = ruby's minor * 10000 + dev ver)
and we can check incompatibility with older dev version.
The original code looks unnecessarily complicated (to me).
Also, it creates a pre-allocated array only for the prefix of the array.
The new code optimizes not only the prefix but also the subsequence that
is longer than 0x40 elements.
# not optimized
10000000.times { [1+1, 1,2,3,4,...,63] } # 2.12 sec.
# (1+1; push 1; push 2; ...; puts 63; newarray 64; concatarray)
# optimized
10000000.times { [1+1, 1,2,3,4,...,63,64] } # 1.46 sec.
# (1+1; newarray 1; putobject [1,2,3,...,64]; concatarray)
"popped" case can be so simple, so this change moves the branch to the
first, instead of scattering `if (popped)` branches to the main part.
Also, the return value "len" is not used. So it returns just 0 or 1.
compile_list was for the compilation of Array literal and Hash literal.
I guess it was originally reasonable to handle them in one function, but
now, compilation of Array is very different from Hash. So the function
was complicated by many branches for Array and Hash.
This change separates the function to two ones for Array and Hash.
An array literal [1,2,...,301] was compiled to the following iseq:
duparray [1,2,...,300]
putobject [301]
concatarray
The Array literal optimization took every two elements maybe because it
must handle not only Array but also Hash.
Now the optimization takes each element if it is an Array literal. So
the new iseq is: duparray [1,2,...,301].
`[{}, {}, {}, ..., {}, *{}]` is wrongly created.
A big array literal is created and concatenated for every 256 elements.
The newarraykwsplat must be emitted only at the last chunk.
and NODE_ZARRAY to NODE_ZLIST.
NODE_ARRAY is used not only by an Array literal, but also the contents
of Hash literals, method call arguments, dynamic string literals, etc.
In addition, the structure of NODE_ARRAY is a linked list, not an array.
This is very confusing, so I believe `NODE_LIST` is a better name.
Previously, **{} was removed by the parser:
```
$ ruby --dump=parse -e '{**{}}'
@ NODE_SCOPE (line: 1, location: (1,0)-(1,6))
+- nd_tbl: (empty)
+- nd_args:
| (null node)
+- nd_body:
@ NODE_HASH (line: 1, location: (1,0)-(1,6))*
+- nd_brace: 1 (hash literal)
+- nd_head:
(null node)
```
Since it was removed by the parser, the compiler did not know
about it, and `m(**{})` was therefore treated as `m()`.
This modifies the parser to not remove the `**{}`. A simple
approach for this is fairly simple by just removing a few
lines from the parser, but that would cause two hash
allocations every time it was used. The approach taken here
modifies both the parser and the compiler, and results in `**{}`
not allocating any hashes in the usual case.
The basic idea is we use a literal node in the parser containing
a frozen empty hash literal. In the compiler, we recognize when
that is used, and if it is the only keyword present, we just
push it onto the VM stack (no creation of a new hash or merging
of keywords). If it is the first keyword present, we push a
new empty hash onto the VM stack, so that later keywords can
merge into it. If it is not the first keyword present, we can
ignore it, since the there is no reason to merge an empty hash
into the existing hash.
Example instructions for `m(**{})`
Before (note ARGS_SIMPLE):
```
== disasm: #<ISeq:<main>@-e:1 (1,0)-(1,7)> (catch: FALSE)
0000 putself ( 1)[Li]
0001 opt_send_without_block <callinfo!mid:m, argc:0, FCALL|ARGS_SIMPLE>, <callcache>
0004 leave
```
After (note putobject and KW_SPLAT):
```
== disasm: #<ISeq:<main>@-e:1 (1,0)-(1,7)> (catch: FALSE)
0000 putself ( 1)[Li]
0001 putobject {}
0003 opt_send_without_block <callinfo!mid:m, argc:1, FCALL|KW_SPLAT>, <callcache>
0006 leave
```
Example instructions for `m(**h, **{})`
Before and After (no change):
```
== disasm: #<ISeq:<main>@-e:1 (1,0)-(1,12)> (catch: FALSE)
0000 putself ( 1)[Li]
0001 putspecialobject 1
0003 newhash 0
0005 putself
0006 opt_send_without_block <callinfo!mid:h, argc:0, FCALL|VCALL|ARGS_SIMPLE>, <callcache>
0009 opt_send_without_block <callinfo!mid:core#hash_merge_kwd, argc:2, ARGS_SIMPLE>, <callcache>
0012 opt_send_without_block <callinfo!mid:m, argc:1, FCALL|KW_SPLAT>, <callcache>
0015 leave

0000 putself ( 1)[Li]
0001 putspecialobject 1
0003 newhash 0

```
After (basically the same except for the addition of swap):
```
== disasm: #<ISeq:<main>@-e:1 (1,0)-(1,12)> (catch: FALSE)
0000 putself ( 1)[Li]
0001 newhash 0
0003 putspecialobject 1

0006 putself
0007 opt_send_without_block <callinfo!mid:h, argc:0, FCALL|VCALL|ARGS_SIMPLE>, <callcache>
0010 opt_send_without_block <callinfo!mid:core#hash_merge_kwd, argc:2, ARGS_SIMPLE>, <callcache>
0013 opt_send_without_block <callinfo!mid:m, argc:1, FCALL|KW_SPLAT>, <callcache>
0016 leave
```
for simplicity and consistency.
Now SUPPORT_JOKE needs to be prefixed with OPT_ to make the config
visible in `RubyVM::VmOptsH`, and the inconsistency was introduced.
As it has never been available for override in configure (no #ifndef
guard), it should be fine to rename the config.
This syntax means the method should be treated as a method that
uses keyword arguments, but no specific keyword arguments are
supported, and therefore calling the method with keyword arguments
will raise an ArgumentError. It is still allowed to double splat
an empty hash when calling the method, as that does not pass
any keyword arguments.
After 5e86b005c0, I now think ANYARGS is
dangerous and should be extinct. This commit adds function prototypes
for rb_hash_foreach / st_foreach_safe. Also fixes some prototype
mismatches.
After 5e86b005c0, I now think ANYARGS is
dangerous and should be extinct. This commit deletes ANYARGS from
struct vm_ifunc, but in doing so we also have to decouple the usage
of this struct in compile.c, which (I think) is an abuse of ANYARGS.
Some tooling depends on the current bytecode, and adding an operand
changes the bytecode. While tooling can be updated for new bytecode,
this support doesn't warrant such a change.
This was an intentional bug added in 1.9.
The approach taken here is to add a second operand to the
getconstant instruction for whether nil should be allowed and
treated as current scope.
Fixes [Bug #11718]
Binary dumping the iseq for `case foo in []; end` used to crash as
there was no handling for these exception classes.
Pattern matching generates these classes as operands to `putobject`.
