After 5e86b005c0, I now think ANYARGS is
dangerous and should be extinct. This commit deletes ANYARGS from
st_foreach. I strongly believe that this commit should have had come
with b0af0592fd, which added extra
parameter to st_foreach callbacks.
After 5e86b005c0, I now think ANYARGS is
dangerous and should be extinct. This commit deletes ANYARGS from
rb_catch, and fixes some bugs revealed by that.
After 5e86b005c0, I now think ANYARGS is
dangerous and should be extinct. This commit deletes ANYARGS from
rb_ensure, which also revealed many arity / type mismatches.
After 5e86b005c0, I now think ANYARGS is
dangerous and should be extinct. This commit deletes ANYARGS from
rb_rescue / rb_rescue2, which revealed many arity / type mismatches.

Closes: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/2210
PC modification in gc_event_hook_body was careless. There are (so
to say) abnormal iseqs stored in the cfp. We have to check sanity
before we touch the PC.
This has not been fixed because there was no way to (ab)use the
setup from pure-Ruby. However by using our official C APIs it is
possible to touch such frame(s), resulting in SEGV.
Fixes [Bug #14834].
On ar_table, Do not keep a full-length hash value (FLHV, 8 bytes)
but keep a 1 byte hint from a FLHV (lowest byte of FLHV).
An ar_table only contains at least 8 entries, so hints consumes
8 bytes at most. We can store hints in RHash::ar_hint.
On 32bit CPU, we use 4 entries ar_table.
The advantages:
* We don't need to keep FLHV so ar_table only consumes
16 bytes (VALUEs of key and value) * 8 entries = 128 bytes.
* We don't need to scan ar_table, but only need to check hints
in many cases. Especially we don't need to access ar_table
if there is no match entries (in many cases).
It will increase memory cache locality.
The disadvantages:
* This technique can increase `#eql?` time because hints can
conflicts (in theory, it conflicts once in 256 times).
It can introduce incompatibility if there is a object x where
x.eql? returns true even if hash values are different.
I believe we don't need to care such irregular case.
* We need to re-calculate FLHV if we need to switch from ar_table
to st_table (e.g. exceeds 8 entries).
It also can introduce incompatibility, on mutating key objects.
I believe we don't need to care such irregular case too.
Add new debug counters to measure the performance:
* artable_hint_hit - hint is matched and eql?#=>true
* artable_hint_miss - hint is not matched but eql?#=>false
* artable_hint_notfound - lookup counts
