This commit changes the external GC to be loaded with the `--gc-library`
command line argument instead of the RUBY_GC_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable because @nobu pointed out that loading binaries using environment
variables can pose a security risk.
If you start Ruby with `--yjit-disable`, the `+YJIT` shouldn't be
added until `RubyVM::YJIT.enable` is actually called. Otherwise
it's confusing in crash reports etc.
This patch removes the `VALUE flags` member from the `rb_ast_t` structure making `rb_ast_t` no longer an IMEMO object.
## Background
We are trying to make the Ruby parser generated from parse.y a universal parser that can be used by other implementations such as mruby.
To achieve this, it is necessary to exclude VALUE and IMEMO from parse.y, AST, and NODE.
## Summary (file by file)
- `rubyparser.h`
- Remove the `VALUE flags` member from `rb_ast_t`
- `ruby_parser.c` and `internal/ruby_parser.h`
- Use TypedData_Make_Struct VALUE which wraps `rb_ast_t` `in ast_alloc()` so that GC can manage it
- You can retrieve `rb_ast_t` from the VALUE by `rb_ruby_ast_data_get()`
- Change the return type of `rb_parser_compile_XXXX()` functions from `rb_ast_t *` to `VALUE`
- rb_ruby_ast_new() which internally `calls ast_alloc()` is to create VALUE vast outside ruby_parser.c
- `iseq.c` and `vm_core.h`
- Amend the first parameter of `rb_iseq_new_XXXX()` functions from `rb_ast_body_t *` to `VALUE`
- This keeps the VALUE of AST on the machine stack to prevent being removed by GC
- `ast.c`
- Almost all change is replacement `rb_ast_t *ast` with `VALUE vast` (sorry for the big diff)
- Fix `node_memsize()`
- Now it includes `rb_ast_local_table_link`, `tokens` and script_lines
- `compile.c`, `load.c`, `node.c`, `parse.y`, `proc.c`, `ruby.c`, `template/prelude.c.tmpl`, `vm.c` and `vm_eval.c`
- Follow-up due to the above changes
- `imemo.{c|h}`
- If an object with `imemo_ast` appears, considers it a bug

Previously it would bypass the `FL_ABLE` check, but
since shapes introduction, it started having a different
behavior than `OBJ_FREEZE`, as it would onyl set the `FL_FREEZE`
flag, but not update the shape.
I have no indication of this causing a bug yet, but it seems
like a trap waiting to happen.
This patch is part of universal parser work.
## Summary
- Decouple VALUE from members below:
- `(struct parser_params *)->debug_lines`
- `(rb_ast_t *)->body.script_lines`
- Instead, they are now `rb_parser_ary_t *`
- They can also be a `(VALUE)FIXNUM` as before to hold line count
- `ISEQ_BODY(iseq)->variable.script_lines` remains VALUE
- In order to do this,
- Add `VALUE script_lines` param to `rb_iseq_new_with_opt()`
- Introduce `rb_parser_build_script_lines_from()` to convert `rb_parser_ary_t *` into `VALUE`
## Other details
- Extend `rb_parser_ary_t *`. It previously could only store `rb_parser_ast_token *`, now can store script_lines, too
- Change tactics of building the top-level `SCRIPT_LINES__` in `yycompile0()`
- Before: While parsing, each line of the script is added to `SCRIPT_LINES__[path]`
- After: After `yyparse(p)`, `SCRIPT_LINES__[path]` will be built from `p->debug_lines`
- Remove the second parameter of `rb_parser_set_script_lines()` to make it simple
- Introduce `script_lines_free()` to be called from `rb_ast_free()` because the GC no longer takes care of the script_lines
- Introduce `rb_parser_string_deep_copy()` in parse.y to maintain script_lines when `rb_ruby_parser_free()` called
- With regard to this, please see *Future tasks* below
## Future tasks
- Decouple IMEMO from `rb_ast_t *`
- This lifts the five-members-restriction of Ruby object,
- So we will be able to move the ownership of the `lex.string_buffer` from parser to AST
- Then we remove `rb_parser_string_deep_copy()` to make the whole thing simple
Additional flags are comma separated list preceeded by `-` or `+`.
Before:
```sh
$ ruby --dump=insns+without_opt
```
After:
```sh
$ ruby --dump=insns-opt,-optimize
```
At the same time, `parsetree_with_comment` is split to `parsetree`
option and additional `comment` flag.
Before:
```sh
$ ruby --dump=parsetree_with_comment
```
After:
```sh
$ ruby --dump=parsetree,+comment
```
Also flags can be separate `--dump`.
```sh
$ ruby --dump=parsetree --dump=+comment --dump=+error_tolerant
```
Ineffective flags are ignored silently.
```sh
$ ruby --dump=parsetree --dump=+comment --dump=+error_tolerant
```
This patch suggests relocating the code dealing with `SCRIPT_LINES__` from ast.c to ruby_parser.c.
## Background
- I guess `AbstractSyntaxTree.of` method used to use `SCRIPT_LINES__` internally for some reason before
- However, now it appears `SCRIPT_LINES__` is no longer used meaningfully by the method
- As evidence of this, (and as my patch shows,) removing the function call of `rb_script_lines_for()` from `ast_s_of()` does not affect the result of `test/ruby/test_ast.rb`
Given the above, I think two possibilities can be considered:
- (A) `AbstractSyntaxTree.of` has not needed `SCRIPT_LINES__` already (I pick this)
- (B) We lack a test case of `AbstractSyntaxTree.of` that needs to use `SCRIPT_LINES__`
## Besides,
The current implementation causes strange behavior:
```console
ruby -e"SCRIPT_LINES__ = {__FILE__ => []}; puts RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree.of(->{ 1 + 2 }, keep_script_lines: true).script_lines"
=> `-e:1:in '<main>': undefined method 'script_lines' for nil (NoMethodError)`
```
I think this is a bug because `AbstractSyntaxTree.of` is not supposed to return `nil` even in this case.
This happens due to the ast.c's dependence on `SCRIPT_LINES__`.
And at the end of the `ast_s_of()`, `node_find()` can not find the target child node obviously because it doesn't make sense to look for a corresponding node made from the parameter of `AbstractSyntaxTree.of` in the AST tree made from the value of `{__FILE__ => []}`
## Solution
Since I think it's good enough `SCRIPT_LINES__` to be only referred by ruby.c, I chose the possibility "(A)" and wrote this patch which moves `rb_script_lines_for()` from ast.c to ruby_parser.c.
So as the result:
- `ast_s_of()` function no longer look up `SCRIPT_LINES__`
- Even so, this patched code passes the existing tests
- The strange behavior above no longer happens (I also added a test for it)
Please correct me if I miss something🙏
[Feature #20205]
As a path toward enabling frozen string literals by default in the future,
this commit introduce "chilled strings". From a user perspective chilled
strings pretend to be frozen, but on the first attempt to mutate them,
they lose their frozen status and emit a warning rather than to raise a
`FrozenError`.
Implementation wise, `rb_compile_option_struct.frozen_string_literal` is
no longer a boolean but a tri-state of `enabled/disabled/unset`.
When code is compiled with frozen string literals neither explictly enabled
or disabled, string literals are compiled with a new `putchilledstring`
instruction. This instruction is identical to `putstring` except it marks
the String with the `STR_CHILLED (FL_USER3)` and `FL_FREEZE` flags.
Chilled strings have the `FL_FREEZE` flag as to minimize the need to check
for chilled strings across the codebase, and to improve compatibility with
C extensions.
Notes:
- `String#freeze`: clears the chilled flag.
- `String#-@`: acts as if the string was mutable.
- `String#+@`: acts as if the string was mutable.
- `String#clone`: copies the chilled flag.

In preparation for https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20205.
The `frozen_string_literal` compilation option will no longer
be a boolean but a tri-state: `on/off/default`.
The following parts will not be shown for `-h` option. And not to
reach 80 columns. Some terminal emulators (Windows command prompt at
least) wrap the cursor to the next line when reaching the rightmost
column, before exceeding.
This `st_table` is used to both mark and pin classes
defined from the C API. But `vm->mark_object_ary` already
does both much more efficiently.
Currently a Ruby process starts with 252 rooted classes,
which uses `7224B` in an `st_table` or `2016B` in an `RArray`.
So a baseline of 5kB saved, but since `mark_object_ary` is
preallocated with `1024` slots but only use `405` of them,
it's a net `7kB` save.
`vm->mark_object_ary` is also being refactored.
Prior to this changes, `mark_object_ary` was a regular `RArray`, but
since this allows for references to be moved, it was marked a second
time from `rb_vm_mark()` to pin these objects.
This has the detrimental effect of marking these references on every
minors even though it's a mostly append only list.
But using a custom TypedData we can save from having to mark
all the references on minor GC runs.
Addtionally, immediate values are now ignored and not appended
to `vm->mark_object_ary` as it's just wasted space.
Before this commit, we were mixing a lot of concerns with the prism
compile between RubyVM::InstructionSequence and the general entry
points to the prism parser/compiler.
This commit makes all of the various prism-related APIs mirror
their corresponding APIs in the existing parser/compiler. This means
we now have the correct frame naming, and it's much easier to follow
where the logic actually flows. Furthermore this consolidates a lot
of the prism initialization, making it easier to see where we could
potentially be raising errors.
