This function is used in `rb_vm_lvar()` and this function can be
unsed (generated into *.rbinc files automatically).
`rb_vm_lvar()` is already declared as a PUREFUNC, but
`rb_vm_lvar_exposed()` is not a PUREFUNC, so `rb_vm_lvar_exposed()`
is remained even if it is unused.
Noticed that struct rb_builtin_function is a purely compile-time
constant. MJIT can eliminate some runtime calculations by statically
generate dedicated C code generator for each builtin functions.
Now, C functions written by __builtin_cexpr!(code) and others are
named as "__builtin_inline#{n}". However, it is difficult to know
what the function is. This patch rename them into
"__builtin_foo_#{lineno}" when cexpr! is in 'foo' method.
Add an experimental `__builtin_inline!(c_expression)` special intrinsic
which run a C code snippet.
In `c_expression`, you can access the following variables:
* ec (rb_execution_context_t *)
* self (const VALUE)
* local variables (const VALUE)
Not that you can read these variables, but you can not write them.
You need to return from this expression and return value will be a
result of __builtin_inline!().
Examples:
`def foo(x) __builtin_inline!('return rb_p(x);'); end` calls `p(x)`.
`def double(x) __builtin_inline!('return INT2NUM(NUM2INT(x) * 2);')`
returns x*2.
miniruby load *.rb from srcdir. To specify file path,
tool/mk_builtin_loader.rb embed full path of each *.rb file.
However it prevent to pre-generation of required files for tarball.
This patch generate srcdir/*.rb from __FILE__ information.
Support loading builtin features written in Ruby, which implement
with C builtin functions.
[Feature #16254]
Several features:
(1) Load .rb file at boottime with native binary.
Now, prelude.rb is loaded at boottime. However, this file is contained
into the interpreter as a text format and we need to compile it.
This patch contains a feature to load from binary format.
(2) __builtin_func() in Ruby call func() written in C.
In Ruby file, we can write `__builtin_func()` like method call.
However this is not a method call, but special syntax to call
a function `func()` written in C. C functions should be defined
in a file (same compile unit) which load this .rb file.
Functions (`func` in above example) should be defined with
(a) 1st parameter: rb_execution_context_t *ec
(b) rest parameters (0 to 15).
(c) VALUE return type.
This is very similar requirements for functions used by
rb_define_method(), however `rb_execution_context_t *ec`
is new requirement.
(3) automatic C code generation from .rb files.
tool/mk_builtin_loader.rb creates a C code to load .rb files
needed by miniruby and ruby command. This script is run by
BASERUBY, so *.rb should be written in BASERUBY compatbile
syntax. This script load a .rb file and find all of __builtin_
prefix method calls, and generate a part of C code to export
functions.
tool/mk_builtin_binary.rb creates a C code which contains
binary compiled Ruby files needed by ruby command.
