Package: mingw-w64-i686-dev
Version: 3.1.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello Stephen,

It would be nice if mingw would provide alarm.
Maybe it kinda does actually:
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/include/io.h:unsigned int alarm(unsigned int seconds);
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/include/signal.h:#define      SIGALRM 14      /* alarm 
clock */

but it does not seem to work (at least under wine) and 
alarm is supposed to be in unistd.h.

There is a lot of confusion on the web wheter mingw support alarm, whether
it is implemented as a noop, why it is in io.h, etc.

Some clarification would be very welcome.

Cheers,
