ObjectSpace.dump writes the lengths with dump_append_sizet, because dump_append_ld takes a long and is also used for Fixnum values. The lengths are never negative, so the output does not change.

Likewise for method coverage: walking me_set and cme2counter and hashing
the array keys on every peek dominated the cost. Maintain
{ path => { key => me or [me, ...] } } incrementally (both hashes are
append-only) and fill in the counts from cme2counter on each peek.
Extract rb_coverage_method_data_of() from thread.c for that.
10k methods: 24 ms -> 0.7 ms per peek. rack's test suite with SimpleCov
per-test tracking (lines+branches+methods): 30 s -> 8.4 s.

Coverage.peek_result rebuilt the nested branch coverage hash on every
call, and hashing its array keys (Array#hash via the recursion guard)
dominated the cost. Build { base_key => { target_key => counter_index } }
once per file and cache it; each peek dups it and fills in the counters.
40k branch sites: 40 ms -> 3.5 ms per peek. The key arrays are now frozen
and shared between results.

Method coverage rebuilt its result by walking the heap for method
entries, so a shadowed or removed method that was never called could be
reclaimed by GC and vanish from the result depending on GC timing.
Record each defined method entry in me_set as it is defined, and compute
the result from me_set and cme2counter instead of walking the heap.

Replace `tool/update-deps` with a Ruby source scanner so dependency
updates no longer require GNU make, a configured build, or compiler
preprocessor output.
Keep compact source mappings and scanner declarations in dependency
files, and expand complete rules into the build directory. Avoid the
temporary fixture headers required by the compiler-driven prototype.
Use the generated rules from GNU make, BSD make, and NMake builds.
Support out-of-tree and read-only source trees, and retain expanded
dependencies shipped in release archives when baseruby is unavailable.
The call to unprotect the coverages hash was introduced in commit 99093e1
where we used the raw ST table and st_foreach. We now use rb_hash_foreach
which no longer requires GC unprotecting the coverages hash.
Introduce Universal Parser mode for the parser.
This commit includes these changes:
* Introduce `UNIVERSAL_PARSER` macro. All of CRuby related functions
are passed via `struct rb_parser_config_struct` when this macro is enabled.
* Add CI task with 'cppflags=-DUNIVERSAL_PARSER' for ubuntu.
Object Shapes is used for accessing instance variables and representing the
"frozenness" of objects. Object instances have a "shape" and the shape
represents some attributes of the object (currently which instance variables are
set and the "frozenness"). Shapes form a tree data structure, and when a new
instance variable is set on an object, that object "transitions" to a new shape
in the shape tree. Each shape has an ID that is used for caching. The shape
structure is independent of class, so objects of different types can have the
same shape.
For example:
```ruby
class Foo
def initialize
# Starts with shape id 0
@a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1
@b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2
end
end
class Bar
def initialize
# Starts with shape id 0
@a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1
@b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2
end
end
foo = Foo.new # `foo` has shape id 2
bar = Bar.new # `bar` has shape id 2
```
Both `foo` and `bar` instances have the same shape because they both set
instance variables of the same name in the same order.
This technique can help to improve inline cache hits as well as generate more
efficient machine code in JIT compilers.
This commit also adds some methods for debugging shapes on objects. See
`RubyVM::Shape` for more details.

In December 2021, we opened an [issue] to solicit feedback regarding the
porting of the YJIT codebase from C99 to Rust. There were some
reservations, but this project was given the go ahead by Ruby core
developers and Matz. Since then, we have successfully completed the port
of YJIT to Rust.
The new Rust version of YJIT has reached parity with the C version, in
that it passes all the CRuby tests, is able to run all of the YJIT
benchmarks, and performs similarly to the C version (because it works
the same way and largely generates the same machine code). We've even
incorporated some design improvements, such as a more fine-grained
constant invalidation mechanism which we expect will make a big
difference in Ruby on Rails applications.
Because we want to be careful, YJIT is guarded behind a configure
option:
```shell
./configure --enable-yjit # Build YJIT in release mode
./configure --enable-yjit=dev # Build YJIT in dev/debug mode
```
By default, YJIT does not get compiled and cargo/rustc is not required.
If YJIT is built in dev mode, then `cargo` is used to fetch development
dependencies, but when building in release, `cargo` is not required,
only `rustc`. At the moment YJIT requires Rust 1.60.0 or newer.
The YJIT command-line options remain mostly unchanged, and more details
about the build process are documented in `doc/yjit/yjit.md`.
The CI tests have been updated and do not take any more resources than
before.
The development history of the Rust port is available at the following
commit for interested parties:
https://github.com/Shopify/ruby/commit/1fd9573d8b4b65219f1c2407f30a0a60e537f8be
Our hope is that Rust YJIT will be compiled and included as a part of
system packages and compiled binaries of the Ruby 3.2 release. We do not
anticipate any major problems as Rust is well supported on every
platform which YJIT supports, but to make sure that this process works
smoothly, we would like to reach out to those who take care of building
systems packages before the 3.2 release is shipped and resolve any
issues that may come up.

* Tie lifetime of uJIT blocks to iseqs
Blocks weren't being freed when iseqs are collected.
* Add rb_dary. Use it for method dependency table
* Keep track of blocks per iseq
Remove global version_tbl
* Block version bookkeeping fix
* dary -> darray
* free ujit_blocks
* comment about size of ujit_blocks
This commits adds in documentation to illustrate the different modes you
can start coverage with. Examples are provided to show how to start each
of these modes, along with an explanation of the mode and a description
of the output.
