If auto-compaction is enabled, then we have to set the capacity/shared
immediately after allocating a heap array. If compaction runs before
capacity/shared is set then it could cause the array to be re-embedded,
which can cause crashes.
RARRAY_PTR when called with a transient array detransients the array
before returning its pointer which allocates in the heap.
Because RARRAY_PTR was being used during compaction (when re-embedding
arrays that have moved between size pools) this introduces the
possibility that we can hit a malloc threshold, triggering GC, while in
the middle of compaction.
We should avoid this by using safer functions to get hold of the
pointer. Since we know that the array is not embedded here, we can use
ARY_HEAP_PTR and ARY_EMBED_PTR directly
* Fix Array#[] with ArithmeticSequence with negative steps
Previously, Array#[] when called with an ArithmeticSequence
with a negative step did not handle all cases correctly,
especially cases involving infinite ranges, inverted ranges,
and/or exclusive ends.
Fixes [Bug #18247]
* Add Array#slice tests for ArithmeticSequence with negative step to test_array
Add tests of rb_arithmetic_sequence_beg_len_step C-API function.
* Fix ext/-test-/arith_seq/beg_len_step/depend
* Rename local variables
* Fix a variable name

rb_ary_tmp_new suggests that the array is temporary in some way, but
that's not true, it just creates an array that's hidden and not on the
transient heap. This commit renames it to rb_ary_hidden_new.
ary_discard should not be used as it should be handled by the GC. The
only user of ary_discard is rb_ary_product, which doesn't neeed to use
ary_discard.
The RARRAY_LITERAL_FLAG was added in commit
5871ecf956 to improve CoW performance for
array literals by not keeping track of reference counts.
This commit reverts that commit and has an alternate implementation that
is more generic for all frozen arrays. Since frozen arrays cannot be
modified, we don't need to set the RARRAY_SHARED_ROOT_FLAG and we don't
need to do reference counting.
Array created as literals during iseq compilation don't need a
reference count since they can never be modified. The previous
implementation would mutate the hidden array's reference count,
causing copy-on-write invalidation.
This commit adds a RARRAY_LITERAL_FLAG for arrays created through
rb_ary_literal_new. Arrays created with this flag do not have reference
count stored and just assume they have infinite number of references.

This commit enables Arrays to move between size pools during compaction.
This can occur if the array is mutated such that it would fit in a
different size pool when embedded.
The move is carried out in two stages:
1. The RVALUE is moved to a destination heap during object movement
phase of compaction
2. The array data is re-embedded and the original buffer free'd if
required. This happens during the update references step
Method references is not only able to be marked up as code, also
reflects `--show-hash` option.
The bug that prevented the old rdoc from correctly parsing these
methods was fixed last month.
This commit implements arrays on Variable Width Allocation. This allows
longer arrays to be embedded (i.e. contents directly follow the object
header) which improves performance through better cache locality.
rb_ary_reset could leave the array in a bad state since it frees memory
but does not unset any flags. This can cause a crash on GC stress. This
commit changes rb_ary_reset to set the array as an empty embedded array.
I used this regex:
([A-Za-z]+)\.html#(?:class|module)-[A-Za-z]+-label-([A-Za-z0-9\-\+]+)
And performed a global find & replace for this:
rdoc-ref:$1@$2
* As the "doc/" prefix is specified by the `--page-dir` option,
remove from the rdoc references.
* Refer to the original .rdoc instead of the converted .html.
