yes. I spent some time last year (July-October) working on mawk, and have most of this feature implemented. However, I won't make a new version available until I finish that (since it would only lead to bug reports by end-users). Before that, I intend fixing breakage here: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/editors/vile/Portfile ... and at the moment am working on xterm. > I've also verified that the bug occurs with upstream mawk, version > 1.3.4-20200120, both with and without the --without-builtin-regex > compile time option. > > unicorn:~/tmp/mawk-1.3.4-20200120$ ./configure --without-builtin-regex > [ output omitted ] > unicorn:~/tmp/mawk-1.3.4-20200120$ make > [ output omitted ] > unicorn:~/tmp/mawk-1.3.4-20200120$ echo 999999 | ./mawk '/^9{1}/' > unicorn:~/tmp/mawk-1.3.4-20200120$ > > (Output should have been 999999.) > > Since it's failing even with --without-builtin-regex I figure this might > be something upstream should hear about, so I'm Cc-ing Mr. Dickey.
