Subject: Support for ITIMER_PROF?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-IsSubscribed: yes

According to the Cygwin API documentation 
(https://cygwin.com/cygwin-api/std-notes.html), "getitimer and setitimer only 
support ITIMER_REAL for now."  I'm wondering whether there's any chance that 
support for ITIMER_PROF might be added.  I have no idea what the obstacles are.

My reason for asking is that emacs has a CPU profiling function, which doesn't 
work on Cygwin because it relies on ITIMER_PROF.  (There's an alternative 
implementation, but it requires timer_getoverrun, also not available in Cygwin.)
