Previously, when an object is first initialized, ROBJECT_EMBED isn't
set. This means that for brand new objects, ROBJECT_NUMIV(obj) is 0 and
ROBJECT_IV_INDEX_TBL(obj) is NULL.
Previously, this combination meant that the inline cache would never be
initialized when setting an ivar on an object for the first time since
iv_index_tbl was NULL, and if it were it would never be used because
ROBJECT_NUMIV was 0. Both cases always fell through to the generic
rb_ivar_set which would then set the ROBJECT_EMBED flag and initialize
the ivar array.
This commit changes rb_class_allocate_instance to set the ROBJECT_EMBED
flag on the object initially and to initialize all members of the
embedded array to Qundef. This allows the inline cache to be set
correctly on first use and to be used on future uses.
This moves rb_class_allocate_instance to gc.c, so that it has access to
newobj_of. This seems appropriate given that there are other allocating
methods in this file (ex. rb_data_object_wrap, rb_imemo_new).
According to MSVC manual (*1), cl.exe can skip including a header file
when that:
- contains #pragma once, or
- starts with #ifndef, or
- starts with #if ! defined.
GCC has a similar trick (*2), but it acts more stricter (e. g. there
must be _no tokens_ outside of #ifndef...#endif).
Sun C lacked #pragma once for a looong time. Oracle Developer Studio
12.5 finally implemented it, but we cannot assume such recent version.
This changeset modifies header files so that each of them include
strictly one #ifndef...#endif. I believe this is the most portable way
to trigger compiler optimizations. [Bug #16770]

Saves comitters' daily life by avoid #include-ing everything from
internal.h to make each file do so instead. This would significantly
speed up incremental builds.
We take the following inclusion order in this changeset:
1. "ruby/config.h", where _GNU_SOURCE is defined (must be the very
first thing among everything).
2. RUBY_EXTCONF_H if any.
3. Standard C headers, sorted alphabetically.
4. Other system headers, maybe guarded by #ifdef
5. Everything else, sorted alphabetically.
Exceptions are those win32-related headers, which tend not be self-
containing (headers have inclusion order dependencies).
Improved readability by reducing the use of macros. Also moved some
part of internal/compilers.h into this file, because it seems to be the
right place for them.
With these macros implemented we can write codes just like we can assume
the compiler being clang. MSC_VERSION_SINCE is defined to implement
those macros, but turned out to be handy for other places. The -fdeclspec
compiler flag is necessary for clang to properly handle __has_declspec().
One day, I could not resist the way it was written. I finally started
to make the code clean. This changeset is the beginning of a series of
housekeeping commits. It is a simple refactoring; split internal.h into
files, so that we can divide and concur in the upcoming commits. No
lines of codes are either added or removed, except the obvious file
headers/footers. The generated binary is identical to the one before.
