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 <address@hidden> about it. (MS-Windows lacks both APIs; the proposed patches attempt to address that special case.)
