See attached program.
Compile with:
gcc -Wall -Wextra -o itimer-test itimer-test.c -lpthread
Run without threads:
./itimer-test
See that SIGPROF is delivered every few milliseconds.
Run with threads:
./itimer-test 1
SIGPROF is never delivered, either to the main thread or the other
thread.
Note that changing to ITIMER_VIRTUAL/SIGVTALARM does not work either.
ITIMER_REAL/SIGALRM seems to work though.
