+/**
+ * @file
+ * @author Ruby developers <ruby-core@ruby-lang.org>
+ * @copyright This file is a part of the programming language Ruby.
+ * Permission is hereby granted, to either redistribute and/or
+ * modify this file, provided that the conditions mentioned in the
+ * file COPYING are met. Consult the file for details.
+ * @warning Symbols prefixed with either `RBIMPL` or `rbimpl` are
+ * implementation details. Don't take them as canon. They could
+ * rapidly appear then vanish. The name (path) of this header file
+ * is also an implementation detail. Do not expect it to persist
+ * at the place it is now. Developers are free to move it anywhere
+ * anytime at will.
+ * @note To ruby-core: remember that this header can be possibly
+ * recursively included from extension libraries written in C++.
+ * Do not expect for instance `__VA_ARGS__` is always available.
+ * We assume C99 for ruby itself but we don't assume languages of
+ * extension libraries. They could be written in C++98.
+ * @brief Function overloads to issue warnings around #ANYARGS.
+ *
+ * For instance ::rb_define_method takes a pointer to #ANYARGS -ed functions,
+ * which in fact varies 18 different prototypes. We still need to preserve
+ * #ANYARGS for storages but why not check the consistencies if possible. With
+ * those complex macro overlays defined in this header file, use of a function
+ * pointer gets checked against the corresponding arity argument.
+ *
+ * ### Q&A ###
+ *
+ * - Q: Where did the magic number "18" came from in the description above?
+ *
+ * - A: Count the case branch of `vm_method.c:call_cfunc_invoker_func()`. Note
+ * also that the 18 branches has lasted for at least 25 years. See also
+ * commit 200e0ee2fd3c1c006c528874a88f684447215524.
+ *
+ * - Q: What is this `__weakref__` thing?
+ *
+ * - A: That is a kind of function overloading mechanism that GCC provides. In
+ * this case for instance `rb_define_method_00` is an alias of
+ * ::rb_define_method, with a strong type.
+ *
+ * - Q: What is this `__transparent_union__` thing?
+ *
+ * A: That is another kind of function overloading mechanism that GCC
+ * provides. In this case the attributed function pointer is either
+ * `VALUE(*)(int,VALUE*,VALUE)` or `VALUE(*)(int,const VALUE*,VALUE)`.
+ *
+ * This is better than `void*` or #ANYARGS because we can reject all other
+ * possibilities than the two.
+ *
+ * - Q: What does this #rb_define_method macro mean?
+ *
+ * - A: It selects appropriate alias of the ::rb_define_method function,
+ * depending on the last (arity) argument.
+ *
+ * - Q: Why the special case for ::rb_f_notimplement ?
+ *
+ * - A: Function pointer to ::rb_f_notimplement is special cased in
+ * `vm_method.c:rb_add_method_cfunc()`. That should be handled by the
+ * `__builtin_choose_expr` chain inside of #rb_define_method macro
+ * expansion. In order to do so, comparison like
+ * `(func == rb_f_notimplement)` is inappropriate for
+ * `__builtin_choose_expr`'s expression (which must be a compile-time
+ * integer constant but the address of ::rb_f_notimplement is not fixed
+ * until the linker). Instead we are using
+ * `__builtin_types_compatible_p`, and in doing so we need to distinguish
+ * ::rb_f_notimplement from others, by type.

+ *
+ * - Q: What is this attribute? I don't get what GCC manual is talking about.
+ *
+ * - A: In short it is an attribute to manipulate GDB backtraces. The
+ * attribute makes the best sense when it comes with
+ * __attribute__((always_inline)). When a function annotated with this
+ * attribute gets inlined, and when you somehow look at a backtrace which
+ * includes such inlined call site, then the backtrace shows the caller
+ * and not the callee. This is handy for instance when an identical
+ * function is inlined more than once in a single big function. On such
+ * case it gets vital to know where the inlining happened in the callee.
+ * See also https://stackoverflow.com/a/21936099

+ *
+ * - A: Allowed operations are different.
+ *
+ * - #RBIMPL_ATTR_CONST ... Functions attributed by this are not allowed to
+ * read/write _any_ pointers at all (there are exceptional situations
+ * when reading a pointer is possible but forget that; they are too
+ * exceptional to be useful). Just remember that everything pointer-
+ * related are NG.
+ *
+ * - #RBIMPL_ATTR_PURE ... Functions attributed by this can read any
+ * nonvolatile pointers, but no writes are allowed at all. The ability
+ * to read _any_ nonvolatile pointers makes it possible to mark ::VALUE-
+ * taking functions as being pure, as long as they are read-only.
+ *
+ * - #RBIMPL_ATTR_NOALIAS ... Can both read/write, but only through
+ * pointers passed to the function as parameters. This is a typical
+ * situation when you create a C++ non-static member function which only
+ * concerns `this`. No global variables are allowed to read/write. So
+ * this is not a super-set of being pure. If you want to read something,
+ * that has to be passed to the function as a pointer. ::VALUE -taking
+ * functions thus cannot be attributed as such.

+ *
+ * This isn't actually an attribute in C++ but who cares...
+ *
+ * Mainly due to aesthetic reasons, this one is rarely used in the project.
+ * But can be handy on occasions, especially when a function's noexcept-ness
+ * depends on its calling functions.
+ *
+ * ### Q&A ###
+ *
+ * - Q: Can a function that raises Ruby exceptions be attributed `noexcept`?
+ *
+ * - A: Yes. `noexcept` is about C++ exceptions, not Ruby's. They don't
+ * interface each other. You can safely attribute a function that raises
+ * Ruby exceptions as `noexcept`.
+ *
+ * - Q: How, then, can I assert that a function I wrote doesn't raise any Ruby
+ * exceptions?
+ *
+ * - A: `__attribute__((__leaf__))` is for that purpose. A function attributed
+ * as leaf can still throw C++ exceptions, but not Ruby's. Note however,
+ * that it's extremely difficult -- if not impossible -- to assert that a
+ * function doesn't raise any Ruby exceptions at all. Use of that
+ * attribute is not recommended; mere mortals can't properly use that by
+ * hand.
+ *
+ * - Q: Does it make sense to attribute an inline function `noexcept`?
+ *
+ * - A: I thought so before. But no, I don't think they are useful any longer.
+ *
+ * - When an inline function attributed `noexcept` actually doesn't throw
+ * any exceptions at all: these days I don't see any difference in
+ * generated assembly by adding/removing this attribute. C++ compilers
+ * get smarter and smarter. Today they can infer if it actually throws
+ * or not without any annotations by humans (correct me if I'm wrong).
+ *
+ * - When an inline function attributed `noexcept` actually _does_ throw an
+ * exception: they have to call `std::terminate` then (C++ standard
+ * mandates so). This means exception handling routines are actually
+ * enforced, not omitted. This doesn't impact runtime performance (The
+ * Itanium C++ ABI has zero-cost exception handling), but does impact on
+ * generated binary size. This is bad.

+ *
+ * Let me lawfully quote from a GNU coreutils commit

+ * So the intent was to reroute old problematic systems that no longer exist.
+ * At the same time the problems described above no longer hurt us, because we
+ * decided to completely avoid using system-provided isupper etc. to reinvent
+ * the wheel. These macros are entirely legacy; please ignore them.
+ *
+ * But let me also put stress that GNU people are wise; they use those macros
+ * only inside of their own implementations and never let them be public. On
+ * the other hand ruby has thoughtlessly publicised them to 3rd party libraries
+ * since its beginning, which is a very bad idea. These macros are too easy to
+ * get conflicted with definitions elsewhere.
+ *
+ * New programs should stick to the `rb_` prefixed names.
+ *
+ * @note It seems we just mimic the API. We do not share their implementation
+ * with GPL-ed programs.

+ * At the beginning, there was no rb_eval_string(). @shyouhei heard that
+ * @shugo, author of Apache httpd's mod_ruby module, requested @matz for this
+ * API. He wanted a way so that mod_ruby can evaluate ruby scripts one by one,
+ * separately, in each different contexts. So this function was made. It was
+ * designed to be a global interpreter entry point like ruby_run_node().
+ *
+ * The way it is implemented however allows extension libraries (not just
+ * programs like Apache httpd) to call this function. Because its name says
+ * nothing about the initial design, people started to think of it as an
+ * orthodox way to call ruby level `eval` method from their extension
+ * libraries. Even our `extension.rdoc` has had a description of this function
+ * basically according to this understanding.
+ *
+ * The old (mod_ruby like) usage still works. But over time, usages of this
+ * function from extension libraries got popular, while mod_ruby faded out; is
+ * no longer maintained now. Devs decided to actively support both. This
+ * function now auto-detects how it is called, and switches how it works
+ * depending on it.

+ * First, because you are going to keep backwards compatibility, you need to

+ * Then, this is the key point. Create two new "bridge" functions that convert
+ * the structs back and forth:
+ *
+ * - the "dumper" function that takes an instance of the new class, and
+ * returns an instance of the old one. This is called from
+ * rb_marshal_dump(), to keep it possible for old programs to read your new
+ * data.
+ *
+ * - the "loader" function that takes two arguments, new one and old one, in
+ * that order. rb_marshal_load() calls this function when it finds a
+ * representation of the retained old class. The old one passed to this
+ * function is the reconstructed instance of the old class.
+ * Reverse-engineer that to modify the new one, to have the identical
+ * contents.
+ *
+ * Finally, connect all of them using this function.
+ *
+ * @param[in] newclass The class that needs conversion.
+ * @param[in] oldclass Old implementation of `newclass`.

+ * @name Coercion operators.
+ *
+ * What is a coercion? Well Ruby is basically an OOPL but it also has
+ * arithmetic operators. They are implemented in OO manners. For instance
+ * `a+b` is a binary operation `+`, whose receiver is `a`, and whose (sole)
+ * argument is `b`.
+ *
+ * The problem is, you often want `a+b == b+a` to hold. That is easy if both
+ * `a` and `b` belongs to the same class... Ensuring `1 + 2 == 2 + 1` is kind
+ * of intuitive. But if you want `1.0 + 2 == 2 + 1.0`, things start getting
+ * complicated. `1.0+2` is `Float#+`, while `2+1.0` is `Integer#+`. In order
+ * to achieve the equality Float's and Integer's methods must agree with their
+ * behaviours.
+ *
+ * Now. Floats versus Integers situation is still controllable because they
+ * are both built-in. But in Ruby you can define your own numeric classes.
+ * BigDecimal, which is a rubygems gem distributed along with the interpreter,
+ * is one of such examples. Rational was another such example before. In
+ * short you cannot create list of all possible combination of the classes that
+ * could be the operand of `+` operator. Then how do we achieve the
+ * commutativity?
+ *
+ * Here comes the concept of coercion. If a definition of an operator
+ * encounters an object which is unknown to the author, just assumes that the
+ * unknown object knows how to handle the situation. So for instance when
+ * `1+x` has unknown `x`, it lets the `x` handle this.
+ *
+ * ```ruby
+ * class Foo
+ * def +(x)
+ * if we_know_what_is_x? then
+ * ... # handle here
+ * else
+ * y, z = x.coerce self
+ * return y + z
+ * end
+ * end
+ * end

+ *
+ * - NetBSD 1.2 (src/sys/kern/sys_generic.c:1.25)

+ *

+ * `select(2)` documents how to allocate fd_set dynamically.
+ * http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=select&manpath=OpenBSD+4.4
+ *
+ * - Solaris 8 has `select_large_fdset`
+ *
+ * - Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion)
+ * `select(2)` returns `EINVAL` if `nfds` is greater than `FD_SET_SIZE` and
+ * `_DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT` (or `_DARWIN_C_SOURCE`) isn't defined.
+ * http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#releasenotes/Darwin/SymbolVariantsRelNotes/_index.html
+ *
+ * When `fd_set` is not big enough to hold big file descriptors, it should be
+ * allocated dynamically. Note that this assumes `fd_set` is structured as
+ * bitmap.
+ *
+ * `rb_fd_init` allocates the memory.
+ * `rb_fd_term` frees the memory.
+ * `rb_fd_set` may re-allocate bitmap.

+ * Sends a signal ("kills") to processes.
+ *
+ * The first argument is the signal, either in:
+ *
+ * - Numerical representation (e.g. `9`), or
+ * - Textual representation of canonical (e.g. `:SIGKILL`) name or
+ * abbreviated (e.g. `:KILL`) name, either in ::rb_cSymbol or ::rb_cString.
+ *
+ * All the remaining arguments are numerical representations of process IDs.
+ * This function iterates over them to send the specified signal.
+ *
+ * You can specify both negative PIDs and negative signo to this function:
+ *
+ * ```
+ * sig \ pid | >= 1 | == 0 | == -1 | <= -2
+ * ===========+======+======+=======+=======
+ * > 0 | #1 | #2 | #3 | #4
+ * == 0 | #5 | #6 | #7 | #8
+ * < 0 | #9 | #10 | #11
+ * ```
+ *
+ * - Case #1: When signo and PID are both positive, this function sends the
+ * specified signal to the specified process (intuitive).
+ *
+ * - Case #2: When signo is positive and PID is zero, this function sends
+ * that signal to the current process group.
+ *
+ * - Case #3: When signo is positive and PID is -1, this function sends that
+ * signal to everything that the current process is allowed to kill.
+ *
+ * - Case #4: When signo is positive and PID is negative (but not -1), this
+ * function sends that signal to every processes in a process group, whose
+ * process group ID is the absolute value of the passed PID.
+ *
+ * - Case #5: When signo is zero and PID is positive, this function just
+ * checks for the existence of the specified process and doesn't send
+ * anything to anyone. In case the process is absent `Errno::ESRCH` is
+ * raised.
+ *
+ * - Case #6: When signo and PID are both zero, this function checks for the
+ * existence of the current process group. And it must do. This function
+ * is effectively a no-op then.
+ *
+ * - Case #7: When signo is zero and PID is -1, this function checks if there
+ * is any other process that the current process can kill. At least init
+ * (PID 1) must exist, so this must not fail.
+ *
+ * - Case #8: When signo is zero and PID is negative (but not -1), this
+ * function checks if there is a process group whose process group ID is
+ * the absolute value of the passed PID. In case the process group is
+ * absent `Errno::ESRCH` is raised.
+ *
+ * - Case #9: When signo is negative and PID is positive, this function sends
+ * the absolute value of the passed signo to the process group specified as
+ * the PID.
+ *
+ * - Case #10: When signo is negative and PID is zero, it is highly expected
+ * that this function sends the absolute value of the passed signo to the
+ * current process group. Strictly speaking, IEEE Std 1003.1-2017
+ * specifies that this (`killpg(3posix)` with an argument of zero) is an
+ * undefined behaviour. But no operating system is known so far that does
+ * things differently.
+ *
+ * - Case #11: When signo and PID are both negative, the behaviour of this
+ * function depends on how `killpg(3)` works. On Linux, it seems such
+ * attempt is strictly prohibited and `Errno::EINVAL` is raised. But on
+ * macOS, it seems it tries to send the signal actually to the process
+ * group.
+ *
+ * @note Above description is in fact different from how `kill(2)` works.
+ * We interpret the passed arguments before passing them through to
+ * system calls.
+ * @param[in] argc Number of objects in `argv`.
+ * @param[in] argv Signal, followed by target PIDs.
+ * @exception rb_eArgError Unknown signal name.
+ * @exception rb_eSystemCallError Various errors sending signal to processes.

+/**
+ * Prevents premature destruction of local objects. Ruby's garbage collector
+ * is conservative; it scans the C level machine stack as well. Possible in-
+ * use Ruby objects must remain visible on stack, to be properly marked as
+ * such. However contemporary C compilers do not interface well with this.
+ * Consider the following example:
+ *
+ * ```CXX
+ * auto s = rb_str_new_cstr(" world");
+ * auto sptr = RSTRING_PTR(s);
+ * auto t = rb_str_new_cstr("hello,"); // Possible GC invocation
+ * auto u = rb_str_cat_cstr(t, sptr);
+ *
+ * RB_GC_GUARD(s); // ensure `s` (and thus `sptr`) do not get GC-ed
+ * ```
+ *
+ * Here, without the #RB_GC_GUARD, the last use of `s` is _before_ the last use
+ * of `sptr`. Compilers could thus think `s` and `t` are allowed to overlap.
+ * That would eliminate `s` from the stack, while `sptr` is still in use. If
+ * our GC ran at that very moment, `s` gets swept out, which also destroys
+ * `sptr`. Boom! You got a SEGV.
+ *
+ * In order to prevent this scenario #RB_GC_GUARD must be placed _after_ the
+ * last use of `sptr`. Placing #RB_GC_GUARD before dereferencing `sptr` would
+ * be of no use.
+ *
+ * #RB_GC_GUARD would not be necessary at all in the above example if non-
+ * inlined function calls are made on the `s` variable after `sptr` is
+ * dereferenced. Thus, in the above example, calling any un-inlined function
+ * on `s` such as `rb_str_modify(s);` will ensure `s` stays on the stack or
+ * register to prevent a GC invocation from prematurely freeing it.
+ *
+ * Using the #RB_GC_GUARD macro is preferable to using the `volatile` keyword
+ * in C. #RB_GC_GUARD has the following advantages:
+ *
+ * - the intent of the macro use is clear.
+ *
+ * - #RB_GC_GUARD only affects its call site. OTOH `volatile` generates some
+ * extra code every time the variable is used, hurting optimisation.
+ *
+ * - `volatile` implementations may be buggy/inconsistent in some compilers
+ * and architectures. #RB_GC_GUARD is customisable for broken
+ * systems/compilers without negatively affecting other systems.
+ *
+ * - C++ since C++20 deprecates `volatile`. If you write your extension
+ * library in that language there is no escape but to use this macro.

+/**
+ * @defgroup defmethod Defining methods
+ *
+ * There are some APIs to define a method from C.
+ * These API takes a C function as a method body.
+ *
+ * ### Method body functions
+ *
+ * Method body functions must return a VALUE and
+ * can be one of the following form:
+ *
+ * #### Fixed number of parameters
+ *
+ * This form is a normal C function, excepting it takes
+ * a receiver object as the first argument.
+ *
+ * ```CXX
+ * static VALUE my_method(VALUE self, VALUE x, VALUE y);
+ * ```
+ *
+ * #### argc and argv style
+ *
+ * This form takes three parameters: argc, argv and self.
+ * self is the receiver. argc is the number of arguments.
+ * argv is a pointer to an array of the arguments.
+ *
+ * ```CXX
+ * static VALUE my_method(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self);
+ * ```
+ *
+ * #### Ruby array style
+ *
+ * This form takes two parameters: self and args.
+ * self is the receiver. args is an Array object which
+ * contains the arguments.
+ *
+ * ```CXX
+ * static VALUE my_method(VALUE self, VALUE args);
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ### Number of parameters
+ *
+ * Method defining APIs takes the number of parameters which the
+ * method will takes. This number is called argc.
+ * argc can be:
+ *
+ * - Zero or positive number.
+ * This means the method body function takes a fixed number of parameters.
+ *
+ * - `-1`.
+ * This means the method body function is "argc and argv" style.
+ *
+ * - `-2`.
+ * This means the method body function is "self and args" style.
