OpenGL: glGetError() returns invalid enum after call to glewInit()

问题

I use GLEW and freeglut. For some reason, after a call to glewInit(), glGetError() returns error code 1280, even with glewExperimental = GL_FALSE.

I cannot compile the shaders, glGetProgramInfoLog() returns "Vertex shader(s) were not successfully compiled before glLinkProgram() was called. Link failed." I was able to compile the shaders before.

Reinstalling the drivers didn't help.

Here's my code:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    GLenum GlewInitResult, res;

    InitWindow(argc, argv);

    res = glGetError(); // res = 0

    glewExperimental = GL_TRUE;
    GlewInitResult = glewInit();    

    fprintf(stdout, "ERROR: %s\n", glewGetErrorString(GlewInitResult)); // "No error"
    res = glGetError(); // res = 1280

    glutMainLoop();

    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

void InitWindow(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    glutInit(&argc, argv);

    glutInitContextVersion(4, 0);
    glutInitContextFlags(GLUT_FORWARD_COMPATIBLE);
    glutInitContextProfile(GLUT_CORE_PROFILE);

    glutSetOption(GLUT_ACTION_ON_WINDOW_CLOSE,
    GLUT_ACTION_GLUTMAINLOOP_RETURNS);

    glutInitWindowPosition(0, 0);
    glutInitWindowSize(CurrentWidth, CurrentHeight);
    glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGBA);

    WindowHandle = glutCreateWindow(WINDOW_TITLE);

    GLenum errorCheckValue = glGetError();

    if (WindowHandle < 1)
    {
        fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: Could not create new rendering window.\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    glutReshapeFunc(ResizeFunction);
    glutDisplayFunc(RenderFunction);
    glutIdleFunc(IdleFunction);
    glutTimerFunc(0, TimerFunction, 0);
    glutCloseFunc(Cleanup);
    glutKeyboardFunc(KeyboardFunction);
}

What I am doing wrong?

回答1:

Did you see the comment on this wiki page?

http://www.opengl.org/wiki/OpenGL_Loading_Library

It mentions why this occurs, and it says "in some cases you may still get GL_INVALID_ENUM after specifying glewExperimental depending on your glew version".

It sounds like it might be safe to ignore as long as you're not seeing any other problems.

It seems glew just does not work correctly... The easiest solution for me was using libepoxy. It does not require any init thing. Just replace your

#include <GL/glew.h>

with

#include <epoxy/gl.h>
#include <epoxy/glx.h>

and remove all the glew code. If you use gcc, you will also have to replace "-lGLEW" with "-lepoxy". That's it. For example I have something like:

g++ main.cpp -lepoxy -lSDL2 -lSDL2_image -lSDL2_mixer -lglut -lGLU -o main

It seems to be important to keep epoxy flag before others.
