PS2DEV: std::async and threading not supported ?

[HudsonSchumaker]

Hello,
I getting a linker error
undefined reference to __atomic_test_and_set'`

because of the code:
loadFuture = std::async(std::launch::async, &Scene::load, this);

if there is no support for this, how could i work around this ?
thanks

Hi Hudson, in case you're still getting this linker error; so ps2sdk doesn’t support std::async or atomic operations at all—as they’re not part of the C++ stdlib for PS2. That’s why the linker can’t find __atomic_test_and_set.

I suggest you call Scene::load() directly during initialization before your main loop starts. PS2 doesn’t do threading well anyway—load your geometry upfront instead. That’s the standard approach and it’ll work great for what you’re doing.
