>From what I checked in the glibc code, ITIMER_VIRTUAL and ITIMER_PROF are not implemented, only ITIMER_REAL is, so a program would never get a SIGVTALARM, and jthread preempting depends on it. Is this functionality planned to be added glibc or is there some alternative simmilar to SIGVTALARM ? Igor
