This function accepts flags:
RB_NO_KEYWORDS, RB_PASS_KEYWORDS, RB_PASS_CALLED_KEYWORDS:
Works as the same as rb_block_call_kw.
RB_BLOCK_NO_USE_PACKED_ARGS:
The given block ("bl_proc") does not use "yielded_arg" of rb_block_call_func_t.
Instead, the block accesses the yielded arguments via "argc" and "argv".
This flag allows the called method to yield arguments without allocating an Array.
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

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
[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`.
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.
- Don't use `build_options_scopes` We can inline the code here instead
and avoid allocating all the extra arrays.
- Create `pm_scope_node_t` objects with the correct local table, for the
scope node returned from the parser.

The macro SafeStringValue() became just StringValue() in c5c05460ac,
and it is deprecated nowadays.
This patch replaces remaining macro usage. Some occurrences are left in
ext/stringio and ext/win32ole, they should be fixed upstream.
The macro itself is not deleted, because it may be used in extensions.
This follows the same approach used for attr_reader/attr_writer in
2d98593bf5, skipping the checking for
tracing after the first call using the call cache, and clearing the
call cache when tracing is turned on/off.
Fixes [Bug #18886]
`struct rb_calling_info::cd` is introduced and `rb_calling_info::ci`
is replaced with it to manipulate the inline cache of iseq while
method invocation process. So that `ci` can be acessed with
`calling->cd->ci`. It adds one indirection but it can be justified
by the following points:
1) `vm_search_method_fastpath()` doesn't need `ci` and also
`vm_call_iseq_setup_normal()` doesn't need `ci`. It means
reducing `cd->ci` access in `vm_sendish()` can make it faster.
2) most of method types need to access `ci` once in theory
so that 1 additional indirection doesn't matter.
[Feature #19755]
Before (in /tmp/test.rb):
```ruby
Object.class_eval("p __FILE__") # => "(eval)"
```
After:
```ruby
Object.class_eval("p __FILE__") # => "(eval at /tmp/test.rb:1)"
```
This makes it much easier to track down generated code in case
the author forgot to provide a filename argument.
Originally, when 2e7bceb34e fixed cfuncs to no
longer use the VM stack for large array splats, it was thought to have fully
fixed Bug #4040, since the issue was fixed for methods defined in Ruby (iseqs)
back in Ruby 2.2.
After additional research, I determined that same issue affects almost all
types of method calls, not just iseq and cfunc calls. There were two main
types of remaining issues, important cases (where large array splat should
work) and pedantic cases (where large array splat raised SystemStackError
instead of ArgumentError).
Important cases:
```ruby
define_method(:a){|*a|}
a(*1380888.times)
def b(*a); end
send(:b, *1380888.times)
:b.to_proc.call(self, *1380888.times)
def d; yield(*1380888.times) end
d(&method(:b))
def self.method_missing(*a); end
not_a_method(*1380888.times)
```
Pedantic cases:
```ruby
def a; end
a(*1380888.times)
def b(_); end
b(*1380888.times)
def c(_=nil); end
c(*1380888.times)
c = Class.new do
attr_accessor :a
alias b a=
end.new
c.a(*1380888.times)
c.b(*1380888.times)
c = Struct.new(:a) do
alias b a=
end.new
c.a(*1380888.times)
c.b(*1380888.times)
```
This patch fixes all usage of CALLER_SETUP_ARG with splatting a large
number of arguments, and required similar fixes to use a temporary
hidden array in three other cases where the VM would use the VM stack
for handling a large number of arguments. However, it is possible
there may be additional cases where splatting a large number
of arguments still causes a SystemStackError.
This has a measurable performance impact, as it requires additional
checks for a large number of arguments in many additional cases.
This change is fairly invasive, as there were many different VM
functions that needed to be modified to support this. To avoid
too much API change, I modified struct rb_calling_info to add a
heap_argv member for storing the array, so I would not have to
thread it through many functions. This struct is always stack
allocated, which helps ensure sure GC doesn't collect it early.
Because of how invasive the changes are, and how rarely large
arrays are actually splatted in Ruby code, the existing test/spec
suites are not great at testing for correct behavior. To try to
find and fix all issues, I tested this in CI with
VM_ARGC_STACK_MAX to -1, ensuring that a temporary array is used
for all array splat method calls. This was very helpful in
finding breaking cases, especially ones involving flagged keyword
hashes.

[Feature #18285]
Previously, the following crashes with
`CFLAGS=-DRGENGC_CHECK_MODE=2 -DRUBY_DEBUG=1 -fno-inline`:
$ ./miniruby -e 'GC.stress = true; Marshal.dump({})'
It crashes with a write barrier (WB) miss assertion on an edge from the
`Hash` class object to a newly allocated negative method entry.
This is due to usages of vm_ccs_create() running the WB too early,
before the method entry is inserted into the cc table, so before the
reference edge is established. The insertion can trigger GC and promote
the class object, so running the WB after the insertion is necessary.
Move the insertion into vm_ccs_create() and run the WB after the
insertion.
