Split/fork off racc-compiler #152
Description
Right now dependencies on the compiler are screwed over by racc (runtime) having a faux-gemspec that ships with ruby. Splitting out the compiler would make it trivial to have a developer dependency on the compiler and a runtime dependency on the regular racc gem.
I'm (very) happy to do the work to split it out if this is approved.

We generate a parser during development and commit it. Later we run tests in bundler. Prior to Ruby 3.3, the generated parser could always require
raccsince it was adefaultgem. But in 3.3 it's abundledgem. So it needs to be added to our Gemfile when running tests.One possible workaround I found is to use
racc --embeddedso that the racc runtime is inlined into the generated parser and we no longer have a runtime dependency onracczenspider commentedon Sep 12, 2024
@joshcooper that is hellishly slow compared to using the C extension.

Yep just was mentioning that as a possible workaround (in our case we just need to run some tests).
