I noticed this while running test_yjit with --mjit-call-threshold=1,
which redefines `Integer#<`. When Ruby is monkey-patched,
MJIT itself could be broken.
Similarly, Ruby scripts could break MJIT in many different ways. I
prepared the same set of hooks as YJIT so that we could possibly
override it and disable it on those moments. Every constant under
RubyVM::MJIT is private and thus it's an unsupported behavior though.
Cases like this:
```ruby
obj = Object.new
loop do
obj.instance_variable_set(:@foo, 1)
obj.remove_instance_variable(:@foo)
end
```
can cause us to use many more shapes than we want (and even run out).
This commit changes the code such that when an instance variable is
removed, we'll walk up the shape tree, find the shape, then rebuild any
child nodes that happened to be below the "targetted for removal" IV.
This also requires moving any instance variables so that indexes derived
from the shape tree will work correctly.

access properly. Because the libclang node had two children, it wasn't
handled well by the pattern matching for the bit field case.
In addition to that, this bit field has a non-1 width. Because we're
returning true/false for a width-1 bit field, I added another behavior
that works like a char value for bit fields with width 2-8.
Object Shapes is used for accessing instance variables and representing the
"frozenness" of objects. Object instances have a "shape" and the shape
represents some attributes of the object (currently which instance variables are
set and the "frozenness"). Shapes form a tree data structure, and when a new
instance variable is set on an object, that object "transitions" to a new shape
in the shape tree. Each shape has an ID that is used for caching. The shape
structure is independent of class, so objects of different types can have the
same shape.
For example:
```ruby
class Foo
def initialize
# Starts with shape id 0
@a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1
@b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2
end
end
class Bar
def initialize
# Starts with shape id 0
@a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1
@b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2
end
end
foo = Foo.new # `foo` has shape id 2
bar = Bar.new # `bar` has shape id 2
```
Both `foo` and `bar` instances have the same shape because they both set
instance variables of the same name in the same order.
This technique can help to improve inline cache hits as well as generate more
efficient machine code in JIT compilers.
This commit also adds some methods for debugging shapes on objects. See
`RubyVM::Shape` for more details.

except for bit fields.
I made a risky assumption on leading bit fields and just gave up
non-leading bit fields for now. I'll change it to let C code access bit
fields later.
I want to use more complicated macros with MJIT. For example:
```
# define SHAPE_MASK (((unsigned int)1 << SHAPE_BITS) - 1)
```
This commit adds a simple recursive descent parser that produces an AST
and a small visitor that converts the AST to Ruby.
