`__ENCODING__ `was managed by `NODE_LIT` with Encoding object.
Introduce `NODE_ENCODING` for
1. `__ENCODING__` is detectable from AST Node.
2. Reduce dependency Ruby object for parse.y
This commit changes `struct parser_params` lastline and nextline
from `VALUE` (String object) to `rb_parser_string_t *` so that
dependency on Ruby Object is reduced.
`parser_string_buffer_t string_buffer` is added to `struct parser_params`
to manage `rb_parser_string_t` pointers of each line. All allocated line
strings are freed in `rb_ruby_parser_free`.
`:sym` was managed by `NODE_LIT` with `Symbol` object.
This commit introduces `NODE_SYM` so that
1. Symbol literal is detectable from AST Node
2. Reduce dependency on ruby object
`__FILE__` was managed by `NODE_STR` with `String` object.
This commit introduces `NODE_FILE` and `struct rb_parser_string` so that
1. `__FILE__` is detectable from AST Node
2. Reduce dependency ruby object
`__LINE__` was managed by `NODE_LIT` with `Integer` object.
This commit introduces `NODE_LINE` so that
1. `__LINE__` is detectable from AST Node
2. Reduce dependency ruby object
All kind of AST nodes use same struct RNode, which has u1, u2, u3 union members
for holding different kind of data.
This has two problems.
1. Low flexibility of data structure
Some nodes, for example NODE_TRUE, don’t use u1, u2, u3. On the other hand,
NODE_OP_ASGN2 needs more than three union members. However they use same
structure definition, need to allocate three union members for NODE_TRUE and
need to separate NODE_OP_ASGN2 into another node.
This change removes the restriction so make it possible to
change data structure by each node type.
2. No compile time check for union member access
It’s developer’s responsibility for using correct member for each node type when it’s union.
This change clarifies which node has which type of fields and enables compile time check.
This commit also changes node_buffer_elem_struct buf management to handle
different size data with alignment.
NODE_ARGS, NODE_ARYPTN, NODE_FNDPTN manage memory of their
structure by imemo tmpbuf Object.
However rb_ast_struct has reference to NODE. Then these
memory can be freed directly when rb_ast_struct is freed.
This commit reduces parser's dependency on CRuby functions.
Introduce Universal Parser mode for the parser.
This commit includes these changes:
* Introduce `UNIVERSAL_PARSER` macro. All of CRuby related functions
are passed via `struct rb_parser_config_struct` when this macro is enabled.
* Add CI task with 'cppflags=-DUNIVERSAL_PARSER' for ubuntu.
