The following parts will not be shown for `-h` option. And not to
reach 80 columns. Some terminal emulators (Windows command prompt at
least) wrap the cursor to the next line when reaching the rightmost
column, before exceeding.
This `st_table` is used to both mark and pin classes
defined from the C API. But `vm->mark_object_ary` already
does both much more efficiently.
Currently a Ruby process starts with 252 rooted classes,
which uses `7224B` in an `st_table` or `2016B` in an `RArray`.
So a baseline of 5kB saved, but since `mark_object_ary` is
preallocated with `1024` slots but only use `405` of them,
it's a net `7kB` save.
`vm->mark_object_ary` is also being refactored.
Prior to this changes, `mark_object_ary` was a regular `RArray`, but
since this allows for references to be moved, it was marked a second
time from `rb_vm_mark()` to pin these objects.
This has the detrimental effect of marking these references on every
minors even though it's a mostly append only list.
But using a custom TypedData we can save from having to mark
all the references on minor GC runs.
Addtionally, immediate values are now ignored and not appended
to `vm->mark_object_ary` as it's just wasted space.
Before this commit, we were mixing a lot of concerns with the prism
compile between RubyVM::InstructionSequence and the general entry
points to the prism parser/compiler.
This commit makes all of the various prism-related APIs mirror
their corresponding APIs in the existing parser/compiler. This means
we now have the correct frame naming, and it's much easier to follow
where the logic actually flows. Furthermore this consolidates a lot
of the prism initialization, making it easier to see where we could
potentially be raising errors.
[Bug #20071]
Currently Ruby crashes when the --parser=prism flag is used either with
no input, or with input that is being redirected from stdin. So all of
the following will crash
ruby --parser=prism
ruby --parser=prism < test_code.rb
cat test_code.rb | ruby --parser=prism
This commit checks whether the input is assumed to be from stdin, and
then processes that as a file.
This will fix the second and third case above, but will cause a slight
behavioural changes for the first case - Ruby will treat stdin as an
empty file in this case and exit, rather than waiting for data to be
piped into stdin.
when the RUBY_FREE_ON_SHUTDOWN environment variable is set, manually free memory at shutdown.

If `RUBY_MN_THREADS=1` is given, this patch shows `+MN` in
`RUBY_DESCRIPTION` like:
```
$ RUBY_MN_THREADS=1 ./miniruby --yjit -v
ruby 3.3.0dev (2023-10-17T04:10:14Z master 908f8fffa2) +YJIT +MN [x86_64-linux]
```
Before this patch, a warning is displayed if `$VERBOSE` is given.
However it can make troubles with tests (with `$VERBOSE`), do not
show any warning with a MN threads configuration.
This patch introduce M:N thread scheduler for Ractor system.
In general, M:N thread scheduler employs N native threads (OS threads)
to manage M user-level threads (Ruby threads in this case).
On the Ruby interpreter, 1 native thread is provided for 1 Ractor
and all Ruby threads are managed by the native thread.
From Ruby 1.9, the interpreter uses 1:1 thread scheduler which means
1 Ruby thread has 1 native thread. M:N scheduler change this strategy.
Because of compatibility issue (and stableness issue of the implementation)
main Ractor doesn't use M:N scheduler on default. On the other words,
threads on the main Ractor will be managed with 1:1 thread scheduler.
There are additional settings by environment variables:
`RUBY_MN_THREADS=1` enables M:N thread scheduler on the main ractor.
Note that non-main ractors use the M:N scheduler without this
configuration. With this configuration, single ractor applications
run threads on M:1 thread scheduler (green threads, user-level threads).
`RUBY_MAX_CPU=n` specifies maximum number of native threads for
M:N scheduler (default: 8).
This patch will be reverted soon if non-easy issues are found.
