The SDL forums have moved to discourse.libsdl.org.
This is just a read-only archive of the previous forums, to keep old links working.

    Mainly, my question is in the title of the email ^^. But let me tell me motivation:
    I'm doing something that really needs a powerful processing in order to perform a critical time system. So, threads are really needed. I have to be honest: I'm now on treading, but I have the theoretical knowledge ^^".    To achieve that, I need to do some synchronization between threads (like barrier, that I do not now how to implement only with SDL threads). Pthread is not a good choice, once I need it to be as portable as possible. So, openmp was in my mind, also, it's easier to use.
    Then the question is: is there any problem if I mix both threads, SDL and openMP? And if I use only OpenMP threads,without creating a single thread by SDL, and use others SDL function (like SDL_RenderPresent), is there a problem?

PS.: haven't found that googling

Hi Leonardo.

I continuously use OpenMP in SDL based project.  Events and graphics with SLD 2.0x and threads with OpenMP. Specifically using 99% of OpenMP and very rarely a call to SDL threads. I do not mix both threads resource.

As additional information, all projects compiled with Intel C and running under Windows.

Regards.

Armando
