![]() Compare with the C methods, A built-in methods written in Ruby is slower if only mandatory parameters are given because it needs to check the argumens and fill default values for optional and keyword parameters (C methods can check the number of parameters with `argc`, so there are no overhead). Passing mandatory arguments are common (optional arguments are exceptional, in many cases) so it is important to provide the fast path for such common cases. `Primitive.mandatory_only?` is a special builtin function used with `if` expression like that: ```ruby def self.at(time, subsec = false, unit = :microsecond, in: nil) if Primitive.mandatory_only? Primitive.time_s_at1(time) else Primitive.time_s_at(time, subsec, unit, Primitive.arg!(:in)) end end ``` and it makes two ISeq, ``` def self.at(time, subsec = false, unit = :microsecond, in: nil) Primitive.time_s_at(time, subsec, unit, Primitive.arg!(:in)) end def self.at(time) Primitive.time_s_at1(time) end ``` and (2) is pointed by (1). Note that `Primitive.mandatory_only?` should be used only in a condition of an `if` statement and the `if` statement should be equal to the methdo body (you can not put any expression before and after the `if` statement). A method entry with `mandatory_only?` (`Time.at` on the above case) is marked as `iseq_overload`. When the method will be dispatch only with mandatory arguments (`Time.at(0)` for example), make another method entry with ISeq (2) as mandatory only method entry and it will be cached in an inline method cache. The idea is similar discussed in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16254 but it only checks mandatory parameters or more, because many cases only mandatory parameters are given. If we find other cases (optional or keyword parameters are used frequently and it hurts performance), we can extend the feature. |

What's Ruby
Ruby is an interpreted object-oriented programming language often used for web development. It also offers many scripting features to process plain text and serialized files, or manage system tasks. It is simple, straightforward, and extensible.
Features of Ruby
- Simple Syntax
- Normal Object-oriented Features (e.g. class, method calls)
- Advanced Object-oriented Features (e.g. mix-in, singleton-method)
- Operator Overloading
- Exception Handling
- Iterators and Closures
- Garbage Collection
- Dynamic Loading of Object Files (on some architectures)
- Highly Portable (works on many Unix-like/POSIX compatible platforms as well as Windows, macOS, etc.) cf. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/doc/contributing.rdoc#label-Platform+Maintainers
How to get Ruby
For a complete list of ways to install Ruby, including using third-party tools like rvm, see:
https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/
Git
The mirror of the Ruby source tree can be checked out with the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/ruby/ruby.git
There are some other branches under development. Try the following command to see the list of branches:
$ git ls-remote https://github.com/ruby/ruby.git
You may also want to use https://git.ruby-lang.org/ruby.git (actual master of Ruby source) if you are a committer.
Subversion
Stable branches for older Ruby versions can be checked out with also the following command:
$ svn co https://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/ruby_2_6/ ruby
Try the following command to see the list of branches:
$ svn ls https://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/

Mailing list
There is a mailing list to discuss Ruby. To subscribe to this list, please send the following phrase:

Requirements to build from repository
- GNU or BSD make
- C99 compiler
- autoconf 2.67 or higher
- automake 1.15 or higher
- bison 2.3 or higher
- Ruby 2.2 or higher
When building from a released version, only a C99 compiler and GNU or BSD make is required.
How to compile and install
-
If you want to use Microsoft Visual C++ to compile Ruby, read win32/README.win32 instead of this document.
-
Run
./autogen.sh
to generate configure, when you build the source checked out from the Git repository. -
Run
./configure
, which will generateconfig.h
andMakefile
.Some C compiler flags may be added by default depending on your environment. Specify
optflags=..
andwarnflags=..
as necessary to override them. -
Edit
include/ruby/defines.h
if you need. Usually this step will not be needed. -
Optional: Remove comment mark(
#
) before the module names fromext/Setup
.This step is only necessary if you want to link modules statically.
If you don't want to compile dynamic extensions (probably on architectures which do not allow dynamic loading), remove comment mark from the line "
#option nodynamic
" inext/Setup
.Usually this step will not be needed.
-
Run
make
.- On Mac, set RUBY_CODESIGN environment variable with a signing identity.
It uses the identity to sign
ruby
binary. See also codesign(1).
- On Mac, set RUBY_CODESIGN environment variable with a signing identity.
It uses the identity to sign
-
Optionally, run '
make check
' to check whether the compiled Ruby interpreter works well. If you see the message "check succeeded
", your Ruby works as it should (hopefully). -
Run '
make install
'.This command will create the following directories and install files into them.
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/bin
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/include/ruby-${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/include/ruby-${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}

${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/gems/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/share/man/man1
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/share/ri/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/system
If Ruby's API version is 'x.y.z', the
${MAJOR}
is 'x', the${MINOR}
is 'y', and the${TEENY}
is 'z'.NOTE: teeny of the API version may be different from one of Ruby's program version
You may have to be a super user to install Ruby.
If you fail to compile Ruby, please send the detailed error report with the error log and machine/OS type, to help others.
Some extension libraries may not get compiled because of lack of necessary
external libraries and/or headers, then you will need to run 'make distclean-ext
'
to remove old configuration after installing them in such case.
