Memory error when calling gl.GenVertexArrays


I've been using Go's go-gl package for quite a while now. Everything was working 100% until I did some refactoring and now I'm getting the stranges error:

fatal error: unexpected signal during runtime execution

I was wondering if anyone has a solution. I've updated my drivers and a empty OpenGL scene works 100% without generating vertex arrays.

Here is my go env

GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH="/home/<user>/Projects/<project>"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/usr/lib/go"
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/lib/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"
GCCGO="gccgo"
CC="gcc"
GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fmessage-length=0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/tmp/go-build983667275=/tmp/go-build -gno-record-gcc-switches"
CXX="g++"
CGO_ENABLED="1"
PKG_CONFIG="pkg-config"
CGO_CFLAGS="-g -O2"
CGO_CPPFLAGS=""
CGO_CXXFLAGS="-g -O2"
CGO_FFLAGS="-g -O2"
CGO_LDFLAGS="-g -O2"

The function making the call:

var vertexArrayID uint32

// ERROR ON LINE BELOW.
gl.GenVertexArrays(1, &vertexArrayID)

gl.BindVertexArray(vertexArrayID)

// Vertex buffer
var vertexBuffer uint32
gl.GenBuffers(1, &vertexBuffer)
gl.BindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, vertexBuffer)
gl.BufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, len(verticies)*4, gl.Ptr(verticies), gl.STATIC_DRAW)

Thank you


Solution

  • Turns out the a OpenGL context was created after the function call instead of before. Very strange that the empty scene still worked and only crashed after trying to generate buffers.
