Subject: [ruby-core:60664] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6083] Hide a Bignum	definition

Issue #6083 has been updated by Akira Tanaka.

File hide-bignum-internal.patch added

I made a patch for this issue.

It just moves struct RBignum and related macros from include/ruby/ruby.h to internal.h, not bignum.c.
It is because other files (such as gc.c, marshal.c, etc.) access internal of struct RBignum.

Feature #6083: Hide a Bignum definition

----------------------------------------
Now, the struct RBignum which is a definition of Bignum in C is located in include/ruby/ruby.h.  It means we can't change implementation of Bignum.  For example, using GMP as Bignum representation.

I propose to move the struct RBignum definition from include/ruby/ruby.h to bignum.c.  I believe no one use struct RBignum directly (except core).

It has possibility to break binary compatibility.
