Homebrew C++ Threading and Exceptions

[TheToaster]

Hello.

Is it possible to use the standard C++ multithreading library (such as std::thread and atomic operations) in developing Homebrew? Or can I only use the threading provided by DevKitPro?

Also, I don't think C++ exceptions work. But can I use the containers, algorithms, and operations from the standard library? I don't know if these would work because they use C++ exceptions internally for error handling.

STL containers (and most things) work without exceptions. I use them all the time. You can even use exceptions and RTTI, I've used them a little, just make sure you're not compiling with -fno-exceptions flag (or without -rno-rtti if you want that) which is the devkitarm default.

But won't RTTI and Exceptions cause overhead? Or will it not?

And also is multithreading library supported for Homebrew?

Yeah a bit, and increase filesize, I wouldn't use them if you don't need them. But STL containers, io streams, and algorithm/functional stuff works. I'm pretty sure standard threading or atomic operations don't work, as least not as expected, but I haven't tried, ctrulib has simple threading functions.
