If OpenJDK requires en-us environment, then nothing needs to be changed. Please ignore this thread.

I should clarify this a bit. We aren't against making the build work on different locales, but most of us are unable to verify that it keeps working on anything by US-English. If you are willing to put in the work to make it work in a Chinese environment, and the set of changes required seem reasonable, we would accept that contribution. Just be prepared to maintain that support over time, as it's quite likely that future changes may break it.

JDK thinks that maybe there will be different names of "Optimizing Compiler" or others. However, in some languages, the whole structure  of the sentence is completely different, not just the names.
So far we have only received contributions for different western type languages, so the current parsing logic has only been adapted for that.

For example, JDK treat the last word separated by a blank as the target CPU, which is "x64" in English environment but "版" in Chinese environment. (`make/autoconf/toolchain.m4`, Lines 983  to 997.) We may use `grep` command to search for "x64" directly, and

If the output changes, we adapt the regex. We need explicit changes to support a new major version of Visual Studio anyway, so it would be done as part of those changes. The likelihood of it changing in a minor update is basically non existent.

When Visual Studio 2019 is used, the macro evaluates between 1920 and 1929.

For example, if the target CPU is x64, `_M_X64` will be evaluated to 100, and the other three macros are undefined.

Using the C preprocessor may work, but as Robbin pointed out, we would prefer if you used one of the Autoconf macros for generating the input files and running it if you were to go that route. However, I think I would prefer if you could just adapt the current logic for parsing the compiler version output.
