Doesn't compile on Windows about stackprof HOT 6 CLOSED

How about putting it in the readme then?

from stackprof.

What is the compilation error?

I don't have any experience with win32, but I imagine setitimer() is not implemented. There might be an alternative we can use.. I would refer to the gperftools implementation to see how they implement support for windows.

Sorry, there are no plans to add win32 support at this time.
