Subject: setitimer API is obsolescent
Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2018 13:32:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b52ee2f1-1ab0-5618-62fe-61760b482f22@cs.ucla.edu> (raw)
POSIX made the getitimer/setitimer API obsolescent a decade ago, and now's a
good time for Emacs to rely on the current timer_gettime/timer_settime API
instead. I've proposed patches for this in Bug#32746. If you know a platform
that is a current porting target of Emacs and lacks timer_gettime/timer_settime
but has getitimer/setitimer, please send email to <32746@debbugs.gnu.org> about
it. (MS-Windows lacks both APIs; the proposed patches attempt to address that
special case.)
