[osg-users] SingleThreaded leading to whole application just running on one core

[Christoph Weiss]

Thank you so much for pointing this out, Pete.  So in 
ViewerBase::setUpThreading() osg decides the whole application should be 
confined to a single core.

Judging by your comment, this has already been discussed and not deemed 
a fault that should be fixed?

Also, I suppose there is no way to it portably? 
Thread::setProcessorAffinity() only allows restricting to a single core 
and has tons of ifdefs, so I guess I need to handle every cross 
compilation target individually?

Thanks again, I really hope this behavior can be changed in a future 
release!

Christoph
