      Support Ruby3.0 keyword arguments. · dccd66f9
      Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto authored
      The Difference
      
      Since Ruby1.9, the keyword arguments were emulated by Ruby using the hash
      object at the bottom of the arguments. But we have gradually moved toward
      keyword arguments separated from normal (positinal) arguments.
      
      At the same time, we value compatibility, so that Ruby3.0 keyword
      arguments are somewhat compromise. Basically, keyword arguments are
      separated from positional arguments, except when the method does not
      take any formal keyword arguments, given keyword arguments (packed
      in the hash object) are considered as the last argument.
      
      And we also allow non symbol keys in the keyword arguments. In that
      case, those keys are just passed in the `**` hash (or raise
      `ArgumentError` for unknown keys).
      
      The Instruction Changes
      
      We have changed `OP_SEND` instruction. `OP_SEND` instruction used to
      take 3 operands, the register, the symbol, the number of (positional)
      arguments. The meaning of the third operand has been changed. It is now
      considered as `n|(nk<<4)`, where `n` is the number of positional
      arguments, and `nk` is the number of keyword arguments, both occupies
      4 bits in the operand.
      
      The number `15` in both `n` and `nk` means variable sized arguments are
      packed in the object. Positional arguments will be packed in the array,
      and keyword arguments will be packed in the hash object. That means
      arguments more than 14 values are always packed in the object.
      
      Arguments information for other instructions (`OP_SENDB` and `OP_SUPER`)
      are also changed. It works as the third operand of `OP_SEND`. the
      difference between `OP_SEND` and `OP_SENDB` is just trivial. It assigns
      `nil` to the block hidden arguments (right after arguments).
      
      The instruction `OP_SENDV` and `OP_SENDVB` are removed. Those
      instructions are replaced by `OP_SEND` and `OP_SENDB` respectively with
      the `15` (variable sized) argument information.
      
      Calling Convention
      
      When calling a method, the stack elements shall be in the order of the
      receiver of the method, positional arguments, keyword arguments and the
      block argument. If the number of positional or keyword arugument (`n` or
      `nk`) is zero, corresponding arguments will be empty. So when `n=0` and
      `nk=0` the stack layout (from bottom to top) will be:
      
      +-----------------------+
      | recv | block (or nil) |
      +-----------------------+
      
      The last elements `block` should be explicitly filled before `OP_SEND`
      or assigned to `nil` by `OP_SENDB` internally. In other words, the
      following have exactly same behavior:
      
      OP_SENDB clears `block` implicitly:
      
      ```
      OP_SENDB reg sym 0
      ```
      
      OP_SEND clears `block` implicitly:
      
      ```
      OP_LOADNIL  R2
      OP_SEND     R2 sym 0
      ```
      
      When calling a method with only positional arguments (n=0..14) without
      keyword arguments, the stack layout will be like following:
      
      +--------------------------------------------+
      | recv | arg1 | ... | arg_n | block (or nil) |
      +--------------------------------------------+
      
      When calling a method with arguments packed in the array (n=15) which
      means argument splat (*) is used in the actual arguments, or more than
      14 arguments are passed the stack layout will be like following:
      
      +-------------------------------+
      | recv | array | block (or nil) |
      +-------------------------------+
      
      The number of the actual arguments is determined by the length of the
      argument array.
      
      When keyword arguments are given (nk>0), keyword arguments are passed
      between positional arguments and the block argument. For example, when
      we pass one positional argument `1` and one keyword argument `a: 2`,
      the stack layout will be like:
      
      +------------------------------------+
      | recv | 1 | :a | 2 | block (or nil) |
      +------------------------------------+
      
      Note that keyword arguments consume `2*nk` elements in the stack when
      `nk=0..14` (unpacked).
      
      When calling a method with keyword arguments packed in the hash object
      (nk=15) which means keyword argument splat (**) is used or more than
      14 keyword arguments in the actual arguments, the stack layout will
      be like:
      
      +------------------------------+
      | recv | hash | block (or nil) |
      +------------------------------+
      
      Note for mruby/c
      
      When mruby/c authors try to support new keyword arguments, they need
      to handle the new meaning of the argument information operand. If they
      choose not to support keyword arguments in mruby/c, it just raise
      error when `nk` (taken by `(c>>4)&0xf`) is not zero. And combine
      `OP_SENDV` behavior with `OP_SEND` when `n` is `15`.
      
      If they want to support keyword arguments seriously, contact me at
      <matz@ruby.or.jp> or `@yukihiro_matz`. I can help you.
