 * SECURITY  CONSIDERATIONS
 * ========================
 *
 * @warning        By  design,  rb_marshal_load()  can deserialise  almost  any
 *                 class loaded into the Ruby  process.  In many cases this can
 *                 lead to remote code execution  if the Marshal data is loaded
 *                 from an untrusted source.
 * @warning        As a result, rb_marshal_load() is  not suitable as a general
 *                 purpose serialisation format and  you should never unmarshal
 *                 user supplied input or other untrusted data.
 * @warning        If  you need  to  deserialise untrusted  data,  use JSON  or
 *                 another  serialisation  format that  is  only  able to  load
 *                 simple, 'primitive' types such  as String, Array, Hash, etc.
 *                 Never  allow  user  input  to  specify  arbitrary  types  to
 *                 deserialise into.

VALUE rb_marshal_load(VALUE port);

/**
 * Marshal  format compatibility  layer.  Over  time, classes  evolve, so  that
 * their internal data structure change  drastically.  For instance an instance
 * of ::rb_cRange  was made  of ::RUBY_T_OBJECT  in 1.x.,  but in  3.x it  is a
 * ::RUBY_T_STRUCT now.  In  order to keep binary compatibility,  we "fake" the
 * marshalled representation to stick to old  types.  This is the API to enable
 * that manoeuvre.  Here is how:
 *
 * First, because  you are going to  keep backwards compatibility, you  need to
 * retain the old implementation of your  class.  Rename it, and keep the class
 * somewhere  (for  instance  rb_register_global_address() could  help).   Next
 * create your new class.  Do whatever you want.
 *
 * 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`.
 * @param[in]  dumper         Function that converts `newclass` to `oldclass`.
 * @param[in]  loader         Function that converts `oldclass` to `newclass`.
 * @exception  rb_eTypeError  `newclass` has no allocator.
