This method type is for optimized CFUNC such as Fixnum#+ and so on.
This feature is half-baked and no way to use them.
[Background]
Now, VM has opt_plus instructions to optimize `+' methods for
some Classes (such as Fixnum, Float (flonum)). We call this
type of instructions as `specialized instructions'.
This simple technique improve simple program dramatically.
However, we can make specialized instructions for only several
types (classes) and selectors (method names) because a large
instruction will be slow. In other words, this technique has no
extensibility.
To overcome this problem, VM_METHOD_TYPE_CFUNC_FRAMELESS was
introduced (r37198). This type is a variant of CFUNC, but called
their functiions directly without building a method frame.
Any CFUNC method can be defined as frameless methods if a method
is not needed to make method frame. Frameless methods are faster
as specialized instructions (a bit slower, but no need to care).
No problem described at
http://charlie.bz/blog/why-do-singleton-methods-make-ruby-slow
because this technique doesn't see class, but see method body
itself. Alias is also no problem.
[Problem]
However, we can't set frameless method type for polymorphic methods
such as Array#[]. Necessity for method frame depends on which
parameter type. For example, Fixnum#+ needs method frame if
coerce is needed. Current VM_METHOD_TYPE_CFUNC_FRAMELESS is not
flexible and need more tuning to introduce it.
Expected behavior of frameless method type may be:
result = optimized_cfunc(params); /* call optimized cfunc */
if (result == Qundef) { result = normal_cfunc(); }
This is why I say this feature is half-baked.
We need to learn primitive method in Smalltalk more.
(I heard this name at RubyConf Taiwan this month. Thanks!)
[Conclusion]
Nobody may use this feature and there is no compatibility issue.
This feature goes to next minor (2.1?).

entry with VM_METHOD_TYPE_REFINED holds only the original method
definition, so ci->me is set to a method entry allocated in the
stack, and it causes SEGV/ILL. In this commit, a method entry
with VM_METHOD_TYPE_REFINED holds the whole original method entry.
Furthermore, rb_thread_mark() is changed to mark cfp->klass to
avoid GC for iclasses created by copy_refinement_iclass().
* vm_method.c (rb_method_entry_make): add a method entry with
VM_METHOD_TYPE_REFINED to the class refined by the refinement if
the target module is a refinement. When a method entry with
VM_METHOD_TYPE_UNDEF is invoked by vm_call_method(), a method with
the same name is searched in refinements. If such a method is
found, the method is invoked. Otherwise, the original method in
the refined class (rb_method_definition_t::body.orig_me) is
invoked. This change is made to simplify the normal method lookup
and to improve the performance of normal method calls.
* vm_method.c (EXPR1, search_method, rb_method_entry),
vm_eval.c (rb_call0, rb_search_method_entry): do not use
refinements for method lookup.
* vm_insnhelper.c (vm_call_method): search methods in refinements if
ci->me is VM_METHOD_TYPE_REFINED. If the method is called by
super (i.e., ci->call == vm_call_super_method), skip the same
method entry as the current method to avoid infinite call of the
same method.
* class.c (include_modules_at): add a refined method entry for each
method defined in a module included in a refinement.
* class.c (rb_prepend_module): set an empty table to

refinements should have priority over prepended modules.
* proc.c (mnew): use rb_method_entry_with_refinements() to get
a refined method.

`rb_add_method_cfunc_frameless()' API.
This API is not mature to become an offical API.
For example, we can not use this API with
`rb_define_private_method()'.
* method.h, vm_method.c (rb_add_method_cfunc_frameless): removed.

add a new otpimization and its macro `OPT_CALL_CFUNC_WITHOUT_FRAME'.
This optimization makes all cfunc method calls `frameless', which
is fster than ordinal cfunc method call.
If `frame' is needed (for example, it calls another method with
`rb_funcall()'), then build a frame. In other words, this
optimization delays frame building.
However, to delay the frame building, we need additional overheads:
(1) Store the last call information.
(2) Check the delayed frame buidling before the frame is needed.
(3) Overhead to build a delayed frame.
rb_thread_t::passed_ci is storage of delayed cfunc call information.
(1) is lightweight because it is only 1 assignment to `passed_ci'.
To achieve (2), we modify GET_THREAD() to check `passed_ci' every
time. It causes 10% overhead on my envrionment.
This optimization only works for cfunc methods which do not need
their `frame'.
After evaluation on my environment, this optimization does not
effective every time. Because of this evaluation results, this
optimization is disabled at default.
* vm_insnhelper.c, vm.c: add VM_PROFILE* macros to measure behaviour
of VM internals. I will extend this feature.
* vm_method.c, method.h: change parameters of the `invoker' function.
Receive `func' pointer as the first parameter.

`invoker'. `invoker' function invoke cfunc body
(rb_method_cfunc_t::func).
`invoker' is set at method definition timing.
With this change, the big `switch' (branch) in `call_cfunc()'
is no longer needed.
However, the performance benefit is only a bit.
* vm_core.h (rb_call_info_t::aux::func): add a new field to store
cfunc body function pointer.
* vm_method.c (call_cfunc_invoker_func): add a new function which
returns a suitable invoke function.
* vm_method.c (setup_method_cfunc_struct): added.
* vm_method.c (rb_add_method): fix to set `invoker'.
* vm_eval.c (vm_call0_body): catch up above changes.
* vm_insnhelper.c (call_cfunc): removed.
* vm_insnhelper.c (vm_call_cfunc): fix to call cfunc body
with `invoker' function.

rb_define_method_fast(). Defined method with this C API
does not make a method frame. It is bit lightweight than
ordinal C functions. Now only 0 or 1 argc are permitted.
* method.h (VM_METHOD_TYPE_CFUNC_FRAMELESS): rename macro name
from VM_METHOD_TYPE_CFUNC_FAST.
* vm_insnhelper.c, vm_method.c: rename related functions.
* proc.c (rb_method_entry_arity): catch up above changes.

This method is similar to VM_METHOD_TYPE_CFUNC methods, but
called cfunc without building new frame (does not push new control
frame). If error is occured in cfunc, the backtrace only shows
caller frame and upper.
This kind of methods can be added by rb_define_method_fast().
This feature is similar to specialized instructions (opt_plus, etc),
but more flexible (but a bit slower).
* class.c (rb_define_method_fast): added.
Maybe it will be renamed soon.
* vm_insnhelper.c (vm_call_method): support method type
VM_METHOD_TYPE_CFUNC_FAST.
* proc.c (rb_method_entry_arity): catch up new method type.
* vm_method.c (rb_add_method_cfunc_fast): added.

vm_insnhelper.c: use struct rb_constant_entry_t as entry of
RCLASS_CONST_TBL. RCLASS_CONST_TBL has contained VALUE of constant
directly. Now instead rb_const_entry_t is contained in
RCLASS_CONST_TBL, rb_const_entry_t is managed by malloc, and
have not only the value itself but also visibility flag.
This is another preparation for private constant (see
[ruby-dev:39685][ruby-core:32698]).

added. Unlinked method entries are collected to
vm->unlinked_method_entry_list. On the GC timing, mark all method
entries which are on all living threads. Only non-marked method
entries are collected. This hack prevents releasing living method
entry.
[Performance Consideration] Since this Method Entry GC (MEGC)
doesn't occuer frequently, MEGC will not be a performance bottleneck.
However, to traverse living method entries, every control frame push
needs to clear cfp->me field. This will be a performance issue
(because pushing control frame is occurred frequently).
