Issue #19474 has been reported by eightbitraptor (Matthew Valentine-House). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19474: Reduce the number of NEWOBJ macros https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19474 * Author: eightbitraptor (Matthew Valentine-House) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- [Github PR](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/7393) Since the introduction of variable width allocation with `RVARGC` there are a lot of different `*NEWOBJ*` macros. Currently there are: * `RB_RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF` * `RB_RVARGC_EC_NEWOBJ_OF` * `RB_NEWOBJ_OF`, an alias of `RB_RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF` * `RB_EC_NEWOBJ_OF`, an alias of `RB_RVARGC_EC_NEWOBJ_OF` * `NEWOBJ_OF`, an alias of `RB_RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF` * `RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF`, an alias of `RB_RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF` This PR merges `RB_RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF` and `RB_RVARGC_EC_NEWOBJ_OF` into a single macro that takes the `ec` as an argument (which can be `NULL`). The resulting macro has been renamed to `RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF` as the existing `RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF` was an alias for `RB_RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF`. `RB_NEWOBJ_OF`, `RB_EC_NEWOBJ_OF` have been removed, as these were just aliases for `RB_RVARGC_NEWOBJ_OF`. `RB_NEWOBJ_OF` and `NEWOBJ_OF` have been retained as these are part of the public API exposed in `include/ruby/internal/newobj.h` so they are available to extension authors. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
