Building current GDB on Cygwin, fails like so:
/home/pedro/gdb/src/gdbsupport/run-time-clock.cc: In function ‘void get_run_time(user_cpu_time_clock::time_point&, system_cpu_time_clock::time_point&, run_time_scope ’:
/home/pedro/gdb/src/gdbsupport/run-time-clock.cc:52:13: error: ‘RUSAGE_THREAD’ was not declared in this scope; did you mean ‘SIGEV_THREAD’?
52 | who = RUSAGE_THREAD;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
| SIGEV_THREAD
Cygwin does not implement RUSAGE_THREAD. Googling around, I see
Cygwin is not alone, other platforms don't support it either. For
example, here is someone suggesting an alternative for darwin/macos:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5652463/equivalent-to-rusage-thread-darwin
Fix this by falling back to process scope if thread scope can't be
supported. I chose this instead of returning zero usage or some other
constant, because if gdb is built without threading support, then
process-scope run time usage is the right info to return.
But instead of falling back silently, print a warning (just once),
like so:
(gdb) maint set per-command time on
⚠️ warning: per-thread run time information not available on this platform
... so that developers on other platforms at least have a hint
upfront.
This new warning also shows on platforms that don't have getrusage in
the first place, but does not show if the build doesn't support
threading at all.
New tests are added to gdb.base/maint.exp, to expect the warning, and
also to ensure other "mt per-command" sub commands don't trigger the
new warning.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
