jruby
Does not compile with GCC 6
GCC 6 changed the default C++ standard from C++98 to C++14 (https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/changes.html) and this prevents jruby-launcher from building. The reason why this repository is affected due to the change in C++ standard is because NULL is defined differently since C++11 (http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/NULL).
I encountered this on FreeBSD 11.1.with GCC 6 installed. I was mainly affected because I was trying to install JRuby using Rbenv which attempts to compile jruby-launcher during the installation of JRuby 9.1.15.0. This issue probably isn't confined to FreeBSD.
Relevant terminal session:
$ rbenv install jruby-9.1.15.0

In the meanwhile, I am working around this issue (as it makes jruby unusable with rbenv for me) with a local change to ruby-build (in case anyone is also running to this issue):
install_jruby_launcher() {
cd "${PREFIX_PATH}/bin"
./ruby gem install specific_install
{ ./ruby gem specific_install -l https://github.com/preetpalS/jruby-launcher.git
} >&4 2>&1
}
Can confirm both FreeBSD and OpenBSD are effected by this, but it seems to work fine in Ubuntu 16.04.
@preetpalS thanks for the fix for the time being!
@desnudopenguino Glad that fix works for you. Ubuntu 18.04 will probably be affected by this since it most likely will have an updated GCC version.
UPDATE (2018-Nov-25):
JRuby 9.1.15.0 and 9.2.0.0 install cleanly on Ubuntu 18.04 using GCC 7.3.0. Have not re-tested with FreeBSD 11 yet.
@preetpalS thanks for that, that seemed to send me in the right direction as well.
Any chance you ran into this?

This is on OpenBSD 6.4, trying to install jruby 9.2.4, jre / jdk 1.8 from OpenBSD packages. I also had to tweak the version check for existing jdk environment; the OpenBSD version of grep wasn't succeeded with that regex, small tweak, will file separate issue / PR
@preetpalS lol, sorry, my bad, tunnel vision. Of course you didn't see that error cause it's for jruby / concerning a separate version. Also why you didn't hit this: https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/pull/1259
I actually didn't encounter your original error when installing 2.5.3 MRI (on OpenBSD 6.4). Thanks for your time reporting; would love to see (and help contribute to) stronger BSD support with rbenv (currently using the system version, since I still have some hangups with jruby).
Your tweak was def. still relevant for me since it involved build stuff before the java / C compilation divergence for our cases.
@ckuttruff I am not familiar with the differences between grep on different platforms (I am not sure why I did not encounter the issue on FreeBSD, but if you are curious, try it on FreeBSD yourself, I believe I was using rbenv from the pkg package manager).
This issue is only for this project (jruby-launcher) which is not used by MRI. It would not make any sense to see this issue when installing MRI 2.5.3 on OpenBSD 6.4.
Also, the error that you encountered was a ruby error, so you actually are not encountering the problem described in this issue. I am unable to help you with that unfortunately.
