gawk 5.2 featuring persistent memory is expected to be released in
September 2022; look for it at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk/. If
5.2 is not released yet, the master git branch is available at
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gawk.git/snapshot/gawk-master.tar.gz.
Unpack the tarball, run ./bootstrap.sh,
./configure, make, and make check, then
try some of the examples presented earlier. In the normal course of
events, 5.2 and later gawk releases featuring pm-gawk will appear in
the software package management systems of major GNU/Linux distros.
Eventually pm-gawk will be available in the default gawk on such
systems.
