Adding `ruby` to `PREP` causes the following circular dependencies
because `PREP` is used as a prerequisite by some targets required to
build `ruby` target itself.
```
make: Circular .rbconfig.time <- ruby dependency dropped.
make: Circular builtin_binary.inc <- ruby dependency dropped.
make: Circular ext/extinit.c <- ruby dependency dropped.
make: Circular ruby <- ruby dependency dropped.
```
Adding a new Make variable like `EXTPREP` only for exts may be also
reasonable, but it would introduce another complexity into our build
system. `-bundle_loader` doesn't care that link-time and run-time
loader executables are different as long as bound symbols are provided,
so it's ok to resolve from miniruby to simplify our build.
ld64 shipped with Xcode 14 emits a warning when using `-undefined
dynamic_lookup`.
```
ld: warning: -undefined dynamic_lookup may not work with chained fixups
```
Actually, `-undefined dynamic_lookup` doesn't work when:
1. Link a *shared library* with the option
2. Link it with a program that uses the chained-fixup introduced from
macOS 12 and iOS 15
because `-undefined dynamic_lookup` uses lazy-bindings and they won't be
bound while dyld fixes-up by traversing chained-fixup info.
However, we build exts as *bundles* and they are loaded only through
`dlopen`, so it's safe to use `-undefined dynamic_lookup` in theory.
So the warning produced by ld64 is false-positive, and it results
failure of option checking in configuration. Therefore, it would be an
option to ignore the warning during our configuration.
On the other hand, `-undefined dynamic_lookup` is already deprecated on
all darwin platforms except for macOS, so it's good time to get rid of
the option. ld64 also provides `-bundle_loader <executable>` option,
which allows to resolve symbols defined in the executable symtab while
linking. It behaves almost the same with `-undefined dynamic_lookup`,
but it makes the following changes:
1. Require that unresolved symbols among input objects must be defined
in the executable.
2. Lazy symbol binding will lookup only the symtab of the bundle loader
executable. (`-undefined dynamic_lookup` lookups all symtab as flat
namespace)
This patch adds `-bundle_loader $(RUBY)` when non-EXTSTATIC
configuration by assuming ruby executable can be linked before building
exts.

This was broken by 67e54ce408, which
resulted in " -d" being used as the mkdir_p program. I think this
is because $ac_install_sh has been set to '' at the point it is
used.
There's probably a better way to fix this, but this should allow
the OpenBSD CI to continue to work until a better fix is in place.
macOS's AvailabilityMacros.h does not contain macros for future
versions. If a version macro is not defined, consider only earlier
versions to be targeted.
The GC compaction mechanism implements a kind of read barrier by marking
some (OS) pages as unreadable, and installing a SIGBUS/SIGSEGV handler
to detect when they're accessed and invalidate an attempt to move the
object.
Unfortunately, when a debugger is attached to the Ruby interpreter on
Mac OS, the debugger will trap the EXC_BAD_ACCES mach exception before
the runtime can transform that into a SIGBUS signal and dispatch it.
Thus, execution gets stuck; any attempt to continue from the debugger
re-executes the line that caused the exception and no forward progress
can be made.
This makes it impossible to debug either the Ruby interpreter or a C
extension whilst compaction is in use.
To fix this, we disable the EXC_BAD_ACCESS handler when installing the
SIGBUS/SIGSEGV handlers, and re-enable them once the compaction is done.
The debugger will still trap on the attempt to read the bad page, but it
will be trapping the SIGBUS signal, rather than the EXC_BAD_ACCESS mach
exception. It's possible to continue from this in the debugger, which
invokes the signal handler and allows forward progress to be made.
THREAD_MODEL is exported already, so this matches that. Exporting this
is simpler than inspecting configure_args and arch and matching that up
with a specific configure.ac.
Fix GH-5976
* add coroutines for ppc & ppc64
* fix universal coroutine to include ppc & ppc64
* add powerpc*-darwin to configure.ac
* fix thread_pthread for older systems
Note this change is only for `configure.ac`, not for Windows using
`win32/configure.bat`.
```
$ ./configure --help | grep mkmf
--enable-mkmf-verbose enable verbose in mkmf
```
Run the following command to enable the mkmf verbose mode.
```
$ ./configure --enable-mkmf-verbose
$ grep MKMF_VERBOSE config.status
S["MKMF_VERBOSE"]="1"
```
In this mkmf verbose mode, when compiling a native extension, the
`rake compile` prints the compiling commands such as
"gcc -I. <...> path/to/file" instead of "compiling path/to/file".
```
$ git clone https://github.com/deivid-rodriguez/byebug.git
$ cd byebug
$ bundle install --standalone
$ bundle exec rake compile
...
gcc -I. <...> path/to/file
...
```
This fixes a bug where Ruby on macOS running on ARM would try to look in
`/usr/local/lib` for things to link against, but the libraries in that
directory are from the x86 installation of Homebrew
[ruby-core:108424]
In December 2021, we opened an [issue] to solicit feedback regarding the
porting of the YJIT codebase from C99 to Rust. There were some
reservations, but this project was given the go ahead by Ruby core
developers and Matz. Since then, we have successfully completed the port
of YJIT to Rust.
The new Rust version of YJIT has reached parity with the C version, in
that it passes all the CRuby tests, is able to run all of the YJIT
benchmarks, and performs similarly to the C version (because it works
the same way and largely generates the same machine code). We've even
incorporated some design improvements, such as a more fine-grained
constant invalidation mechanism which we expect will make a big
difference in Ruby on Rails applications.
Because we want to be careful, YJIT is guarded behind a configure
option:
```shell
./configure --enable-yjit # Build YJIT in release mode
./configure --enable-yjit=dev # Build YJIT in dev/debug mode
```
By default, YJIT does not get compiled and cargo/rustc is not required.
If YJIT is built in dev mode, then `cargo` is used to fetch development
dependencies, but when building in release, `cargo` is not required,
only `rustc`. At the moment YJIT requires Rust 1.60.0 or newer.
The YJIT command-line options remain mostly unchanged, and more details
about the build process are documented in `doc/yjit/yjit.md`.
The CI tests have been updated and do not take any more resources than
before.
The development history of the Rust port is available at the following
commit for interested parties:

Our hope is that Rust YJIT will be compiled and included as a part of
system packages and compiled binaries of the Ruby 3.2 release. We do not
anticipate any major problems as Rust is well supported on every
platform which YJIT supports, but to make sure that this process works
smoothly, we would like to reach out to those who take care of building
systems packages before the 3.2 release is shipped and resolve any
issues that may come up.

We have received reports of build failures due to this configuration
check modifying compile flags. Since only YJIT devs use this library
we can remove it to make Ruby easier to build for users.

The `CC` found by `AC_CHECK_TOOL` is prefixed by the host triplet
when cross compiling. To search for commands with `AC_CHECK_TOOL`
based on that `CC` means to search also doubly prefixed names.
As MinGW has the declaration, the `dllimport` attribute difference
is warned when compiling missing/*.c without including ruby/win32.h.
```

Winsock's `shutdown` is incompatible with the other platforms.
And autoconf fails to detect WINAPI functions on 32bit Windows,
probably due to the argument size suffixes.
configure.ac: setup build tools and register objects
main.c: wrap main with rb_wasm_rt_start to handle asyncify unwinds
tool/m4/ruby_wasm_tools.m4: setup default command based on WASI_SDK_PATH
environment variable. checks wasm-opt which is used for asyncify.
tool/wasm-clangw wasm/wasm-opt: a clang wrapper which replaces real
wasm-opt with do-nothing wasm-opt to avoid misoptimization before
asyncify. asyncify is performed at POSTLINK, but clang linker driver
tries to run optimization by wasm-opt unconditionally. inlining pass
at wasm level breaks asyncify's assumption, so should not optimize
before POSTLIK.
wasm/GNUmakefile.in: wasm specific rules to compile objects
These flags are very wasi-libc version specific, so updating wasi-libc
may break the build. But supporting multiple wasi-libc versions in ruby
doesn't have much benefit because wasi-libc is not installed in most
systems.
