struct method_table_wrapper was introduced to avoid duplicate marking
for method tables.
For example, `module M1; def foo; end; end` make one method table
(mtbl) contains a method `foo`. M1 (T_MODULE) points mtbl.
Classes C1 and C2 includes M1, then two T_ICLASS objects are created
and they points mtbl too. In this case, three objects (one T_MODULE
and two T_ICLASS objects) points same mtbl. On marking phase, these
three objects mark same mtbl. To avoid such duplication, struct
method_table_wrapper was introduced.
However, created two T_ICLASS objects have same or shorter lifetime
than M1 (T_MODULE) object. So that we only need to mark mtbl from M1,
not from T_ICLASS objects. This patch tries marking only from M1.
Note that one `Module#prepend` call creates two T_ICLASS objects.
One for refering to a prepending Module object, same as
`Module#include`. We don't nedd to care this T_ICLASS.
One for moving original mtbl from a prepending class. We need to
mark such mtbl from this T_ICLASS object. To mark the mtbl,
we need to use `RCLASS_ORIGIN(klass)` on marking from a prepended
class `klass`.

This method type is for optimized CFUNC such as Fixnum#+ and so on.
This feature is half-baked and no way to use them.
[Background]
Now, VM has opt_plus instructions to optimize `+' methods for
some Classes (such as Fixnum, Float (flonum)). We call this
type of instructions as `specialized instructions'.
This simple technique improve simple program dramatically.
However, we can make specialized instructions for only several
types (classes) and selectors (method names) because a large
instruction will be slow. In other words, this technique has no
extensibility.
To overcome this problem, VM_METHOD_TYPE_CFUNC_FRAMELESS was
introduced (r37198). This type is a variant of CFUNC, but called
their functiions directly without building a method frame.
Any CFUNC method can be defined as frameless methods if a method
is not needed to make method frame. Frameless methods are faster
as specialized instructions (a bit slower, but no need to care).
No problem described at
http://charlie.bz/blog/why-do-singleton-methods-make-ruby-slow
because this technique doesn't see class, but see method body
itself. Alias is also no problem.
[Problem]
However, we can't set frameless method type for polymorphic methods
such as Array#[]. Necessity for method frame depends on which
parameter type. For example, Fixnum#+ needs method frame if
coerce is needed. Current VM_METHOD_TYPE_CFUNC_FRAMELESS is not
flexible and need more tuning to introduce it.
Expected behavior of frameless method type may be:
result = optimized_cfunc(params); /* call optimized cfunc */
if (result == Qundef) { result = normal_cfunc(); }
This is why I say this feature is half-baked.
We need to learn primitive method in Smalltalk more.
(I heard this name at RubyConf Taiwan this month. Thanks!)
[Conclusion]
Nobody may use this feature and there is no compatibility issue.
This feature goes to next minor (2.1?).

`rb_add_method_cfunc_frameless()' API.
This API is not mature to become an offical API.
For example, we can not use this API with
`rb_define_private_method()'.
* method.h, vm_method.c (rb_add_method_cfunc_frameless): removed.

add a new otpimization and its macro `OPT_CALL_CFUNC_WITHOUT_FRAME'.
This optimization makes all cfunc method calls `frameless', which
is fster than ordinal cfunc method call.
If `frame' is needed (for example, it calls another method with
`rb_funcall()'), then build a frame. In other words, this
optimization delays frame building.
However, to delay the frame building, we need additional overheads:
(1) Store the last call information.
(2) Check the delayed frame buidling before the frame is needed.
(3) Overhead to build a delayed frame.
rb_thread_t::passed_ci is storage of delayed cfunc call information.
(1) is lightweight because it is only 1 assignment to `passed_ci'.
To achieve (2), we modify GET_THREAD() to check `passed_ci' every
time. It causes 10% overhead on my envrionment.
This optimization only works for cfunc methods which do not need
their `frame'.
After evaluation on my environment, this optimization does not
effective every time. Because of this evaluation results, this
optimization is disabled at default.
* vm_insnhelper.c, vm.c: add VM_PROFILE* macros to measure behaviour
of VM internals. I will extend this feature.

`invoker'. `invoker' function invoke cfunc body
(rb_method_cfunc_t::func).
`invoker' is set at method definition timing.
With this change, the big `switch' (branch) in `call_cfunc()'
is no longer needed.
However, the performance benefit is only a bit.

does not make a method frame. It is bit lightweight than
ordinal C functions. Now only 0 or 1 argc are permitted.

This method is similar to VM_METHOD_TYPE_CFUNC methods, but
called cfunc without building new frame (does not push new control
frame). If error is occured in cfunc, the backtrace only shows
caller frame and upper.
This kind of methods can be added by rb_define_method_fast().
This feature is similar to specialized instructions (opt_plus, etc),
but more flexible (but a bit slower).
* class.c (rb_define_method_fast): added.
Maybe it will be renamed soon.

added. Unlinked method entries are collected to
vm->unlinked_method_entry_list. On the GC timing, mark all method
entries which are on all living threads. Only non-marked method
entries are collected. This hack prevents releasing living method
entry.
[Performance Consideration] Since this Method Entry GC (MEGC)
doesn't occuer frequently, MEGC will not be a performance bottleneck.
However, to traverse living method entries, every control frame push
needs to clear cfp->me field. This will be a performance issue
(because pushing control frame is occurred frequently).
