* 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.
