iv_index_tbl manages instance variable indexes (ID -> index).
This data structure should be synchronized with other ractors
so introduce some VM locks.
This patch also introduced atomic ivar cache used by
set/getinlinecache instructions. To make updating ivar cache (IVC),
we changed iv_index_tbl data structure to manage (ID -> entry)
and an entry points serial and index. IVC points to this entry so
that cache update becomes atomically.
The write barrier wasn't being called for this object, so add the
missing WB. Automatic compaction moved the reference because it didn't
know about the relationship (that's how I found the missing WB).
This commit introduces Ractor mechanism to run Ruby program in
parallel. See doc/ractor.md for more details about Ractor.
See ticket [Feature #17100] to see the implementation details
and discussions.
[Feature #17100]
This commit does not complete the implementation. You can find
many bugs on using Ractor. Also the specification will be changed
so that this feature is experimental. You will see a warning when
you make the first Ractor with `Ractor.new`.
I hope this feature can help programmers from thread-safety issues.
This reverts commit 3a4be429b50062122d1616256de38649464d3146.

Use ID instead of GENTRY for gvars.
Global variables are compiled into GENTRY (a pointer to struct
rb_global_entry). This patch replace this GENTRY to ID and
make the code simple.
We need to search GENTRY from ID every time (st_lookup), so
additional overhead will be introduced.
However, the performance of accessing global variables is not
important now a day and this simplicity helps Ractor development.
Moved this hack mark to an argument to `compile_hash`.
> Bad Hack: temporarily mark hash node with flag so
> compile_hash can compile call differently.
Formerly, branch coverage measurement counters are generated for each
compilation traverse of the AST. However, ensure clause node is
traversed twice; one is for normal-exit case (the resulted bytecode is
embedded in its outer scope), and the other is for exceptional case (the
resulted bytecode is used in catch table). Two branch coverage counters
are generated for the two cases, but it is not desired.
This changeset revamps the internal representation of branch coverage
measurement. Branch coverage counters are generated only at the first
visit of a branch node. Visiting the same node reuses the
already-generated counter, so double counting is avoided.
