Bug in ndSetData.h

[zak]

Hi,
compiling last Newton 4 in single thread in Visual Studio 2015 fails because of ndSetData.h, with several error as: impossible to convert from dAtomic<dUnsigned32> to dUnsigned32
In multithreading build error does not occur.

ah, yes I see that.
Fixed. please sync again.

any reason why you build ins single thread?
is you do not set any thread, the engine is still single thread and allows the option of running concurrent.
I find this to be quite effective.
you still can do it building in single thread, but take some work.
and yes I know there are some platform that do not support thread but not windows.

it's ok now.

I am developing a soccer game and hope to publish it on different platforms in the future, so to be safe, I test the single thread regularly.

Ah, that's awesome.

On the bright side, Newton 4 is now at a minimum cpp 11.
Where the usage of cross platform classes like atomic, threads, timer and so on is all cpp 11.
This apply to the engine side 100%, on the demos, since we use third party libraries, this is not the case, but we try to use cross platform thierd party libraries.

So chances are that since most new platforms today are at a minimum c++11 then it should not be difficult to get it work on those platform with or without thread support.

The only missing part that still has not be completed is the arm simd, but I am planning to address than in a few week from now. Problem next month.

We also have building and running in unbunto .

But it is very good that you test single thread running on the parent thread,
Thank you for that.
