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:

quoted

#include "../git-compat-util.h"
#undef getitimer
#undef setitimer


int
git_getitimer(int which, struct itimerval *value)

See Documentation/CodingGuidelines for style nits.

Will do and adjust code accordingly. Here I was more concerned about content
though ;-)

...

Worth being added to compat/, e.g. as setitimer.c, or, as itimer.c (as
a by-product, it has getitimer() too)?

If it helps your port, compat/itimer.c sounds like a good place.
Doesn't it need a new header file to introduce structures and constants,

too?

You mean the ITIMER_* and struct itimerval, right?
On NonStop these are available in <sys/time.h>, so here's no need to add
them.
