This PR is the second half of #89's Rational/Complex item. #120 did Rational the same way.

Until now a Complex was a plain Numeric with @real and @image, and every operation went through complex.rb's helpers.

Changes

• A CLR type for Complex. RubyComplex (Src/Libraries/Builtins/RubyComplex.cs) is now the CLR type of the Complex class.
  • It holds two fields and is frozen from birth, and #instance_variables is empty.
  • #real, #imaginary/#imag, __raw__, and the __ir_set_parts__ that #marshal_load uses are C#.
• Arithmetic in C#. +, -, *, /, quo, ==, #hash and #abs/#magnitude are C# when the parts and operands are Integers or Floats.
  • They follow complex.c's f_add/f_sub/f_mul, safe_mul, comp_mul and f_divide. That includes skipping an exact 0 or 1 operand, and reducing a Float multiplied by a zero to its sign first, which ruby/spec observes.
  • Everything else goes to complex.rb's __ir_*_slow__ methods, which are the old Ruby methods renamed (now private):
    • Rational parts and Bignums;
    • integer division, which makes Rationals;
    • coercion.
  • Comparable's #== is no longer undefined in Complex, because Complex's own #== is already in the method table. Complex(1) < 2 is still a NoMethodError.
• Kernel#Complex is C# for Integers and Floats, with MRI's arity (-1) and messages. Anything else goes to complex.rb's __ir_Complex_slow__. Integer#to_c and Float#to_c are also C#.
• Math.hypot now rounds the way libm does. It computes the squares and their sum to about twice double precision, takes one Newton step on the root, and scales by powers of two when a square would overflow or underflow.
  • Before, Complex(3.5, -1).abs was one unit in the last place off.
  • Of 20,000 random cases, 9 still differ from CRuby in the last place; the old formula differed in about 900.

Numbers

Warmed up, Release, net8.0, compared with CRuby 4.0:

	master	this PR	CRuby
Complex(1, 2)	1739 ns	51 ns	71 ns
a + b	1080 ns	76 ns	63 ns
a * b	3664 ns	121 ns	141 ns
af * bf (Floats)	3562 ns	248 ns	135 ns
af / bf (Floats)	4039 ns	68 ns	172 ns
a == b	301 ns	19 ns	13 ns
af.abs	387 ns	49 ns	17 ns
a.hash	234 ns	34 ns	21 ns
5.to_c	280 ns	64 ns	35 ns

Division with Integer parts (Complex(1, 2) / Complex(3, -1), which makes Rationals) still goes through complex.rb: ~6 µs here, ~1.7 µs in CRuby.

Testing

• IronRuby.Tests passes with no failures. The new test Complex_CSharp1 takes CRuby's output as its expected output. It covers:
  • Integer, Float and Rational parts;
  • Infinity times 0, signed zeros, NaN;
  • coercion, Marshal and hash keys;
  • Kernel#Complex, #to_c, Math.hypot;
  • the undefined comparison operators.
• ruby/spec with no failures: core/complex, core/math, core/numeric, core/float, core/kernel, core/marshal, library/matrix, library/bigdecimal and language.
• ruby/spec with known errors: core/rational (4) and core/integer (15) have the same counts as master. They come from mspec's fixnum_max() helper.

Walkthrough

The PR adds a C# RubyComplex type with arithmetic and comparison fast paths, updates Ruby complex methods to serve as slow-path helpers, adds numeric conversions and construction paths, and registers runtime tests covering complex and Rational behavior.

Changes: Complex Number Runtime Support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Ruby component access and slow paths Src/StdLib/ironruby/ironruby/complex.rb	Complex methods read components through real and imaginary. Ruby implementations become private slow-path helpers. Marshal loading and Kernel#Complex delegate to C# methods.
C# complex representation and operations Src/Libraries/Builtins/RubyComplex.cs, Src/Libraries/Builtins/RubyMath.cs	RubyComplex stores components and implements fast paths for arithmetic, equality, hashing, and magnitude. HypotDouble uses scaling and compensated calculations.
Construction, conversions, and runtime tests Src/Libraries/Builtins/KernelOps.cs, Src/Libraries/Builtins/Integer.cs, Src/Libraries/Builtins/FloatOps.cs, Src/IronRuby.Tests/RubyTests.cs, Src/IronRuby.Tests/Runtime/MiscTests.cs	Kernel#Complex constructs supported numeric inputs directly and delegates other inputs to Ruby. Integer#to_c and Float#to_c are added. The test suite registers complex tests and adds Rational Int32-boundary cases.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 46.94% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 49 functions across 8 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

- Line 106: Update Plus and Minus to detect long overflow before accepting their
arithmetic results, including when called with products from Multiply; on
overflow, compute the result with BigInteger and pass it to Protocols.Normalize.
Preserve the existing normalized long fast path when no overflow occurs and the
existing fallback for non-long operands.
