[Vitaly Provodin]

Hi all,

Building OpenJDK on Windows I am faced with the following error

---------------------------8<---------------------------
os_windows.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl convert_to_unicode(char const *,wchar_t * *)" (?convert_to_unicode@@YAHPEBDPEAPEA_W at Z) referenced in function "public: static void __cdecl os::set_native_thread_name(char const *)" (?set_native_thread_name at os@@SAXPEBD at Z)

The issue was integrated with the patch https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/9f3c7e74ff00a7550742ed8b9d6671c2d4bb6041 that fixes https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8238649 Call new Win32 API SetThreadDescription in os::set_native_thread_name
After reverting this commit the build completes successfully

Note Visual Studio 2019 Developer Command Prompt v16.8.5 is used for building

Is this issue actual for me only? - could not find any mentions about it (in maillists, JBS)
Could you please advice how it can be resolved? 

Thanks in advance,
Vitaly
