Building JDK with mawk on windows fails due to regular expression. I use WSL
Debian. Debian has mawk as the default awk implementation.
$ awk
Usage: mawk [Options] [Program] [file ...]
$ make images
Building target 'images' in configuration 'windows-x86_64-server-fastdebug'
...
nawk: line 1: regular expression compile failed (missing operand)
??_7.*@@6B@
The meta character '?' is not escaped, so the error occurs. I added an escape
sequence prefix to it. Incidentally, this doesn't happen if we use gawk instead
of mawk. Gawk works fine with or without the prefix.
### Check
I've built JDK with both awk and they are successful. Additionally, I checked
the result of both awk executions. I saved each result to a file during the
build.
$(JVM_OUTPUTDIR)/symbols-objects: $(BUILD_LIBJVM_ALL_OBJS)
$(call LogInfo, Generating symbol list from object files)
$(CD) $(JVM_OUTPUTDIR)/objs && \
$(DUMP_SYMBOLS_CMD) | $(AWK) $(FILTER_SYMBOLS_AWK_SCRIPT) | $(SORT)
-u > [FILE]
The file from gawk before applying this PR, the file from mawk after applying
this PR and the file from gawk after applying this PR were the same.
### Note
Only the windows build uses this regular expression. I also tried to look for
non-escaped meta characters in the make directory, but there were none.
