Hi folks There another API missing on HP NonStop and that is setitimer(), used in progress.c and build/log.c I do have a homebrewed implementation, on top of alarm(), it goes like this: #include "../git-compat-util.h" #undef getitimer #undef setitimer int git_getitimer(int which, struct itimerval *value) { int ret = 0; switch (which) { case ITIMER_REAL: value->it_value.tv_usec = 0; value->it_value.tv_sec = alarm(0); ret = 0; /* if alarm() fails we get a SIGLIMIT */ break; case ITIMER_VIRTUAL: /* FALLTHRU */ case ITIMER_PROF: errno = ENOTSUP; ret = -1; break; default: errno = EINVAL; ret = -1; } return ret; } int git_setitimer(int which, const struct itimerval *value, struct itimerval *ovalue) { int ret = 0; if (!value || value->it_value.tv_usec < 0 || value->it_value.tv_usec > 1000000 || value->it_value.tv_sec < 0) { errno = EINVAL; return -1; } else if (ovalue) if (!git_getitimer(which, ovalue)) return -1; /* errno set in git_getitimer() */ else switch (which) { case ITIMER_REAL: alarm(value->it_value.tv_sec + (value->it_value.tv_usec > 0) ? 1 : 0); ret = 0; /* if alarm() fails we get a SIGLIMIT */ break; case ITIMER_VIRTUAL: /* FALLTHRU */ case ITIMER_PROF: errno = ENOTSUP; ret = -1; break; default: errno = EINVAL; ret = -1; } return ret; } Worth being added to compat/, e.g. as setitimer.c, or, as itimer.c (as a by-product, it has getitimer() too)?
