glShaderSource problem

I’m trying to write a general purpose ShaderProgram manager.

I’m having problems with compiling my shader. The shader is a very simple example out of the OpenGL 4.0 Shading language cookbook.

Shader compilation (during C++ execution) returns the following errors:

(0) : error C0206: invalid token “<null atom>” in version line
(0) : error C0000: syntax error, unexpected $end at token “<EOF>”

Here’s my code for the shader:

#version 400

in vec3 VertexPosition;
in vec3 VertexColor;
out vec3 Color;

void main()
{
Color = VertexColor;
gl_Position = vec4( VertexColor, 1.0 );
}

And here’s my code to read in the shader from a file, line by line, then convert that into an array of char arrays, for use in the glShaderSource() call.

const int		nMaxLineSize	= 1024;
char			sLineBuffer[nMaxLineSize];
ifstream		stream;
vector&lt;string&gt;	vsLines;
GLchar**		ppSrc;
GLint*			pnSrcLineLen;
int				nNumLines;


stream.open( m_sShaderFile.c_str(), std::ios::in );

while( (stream.good()) && (stream.getline(sLineBuffer, nMaxLineSize)) )
{
	if( strlen(sLineBuffer) &gt; 0 )
		vsLines.push_back( string(sLineBuffer) );
}

stream.close();


nNumLines		= vsLines.size();
pnSrcLineLen	= new GLint[nNumLines];
ppSrc			= new GLchar*[nNumLines];

for( int n = 0; n &lt; nNumLines; n ++ )
{
	string &	sLine		= vsLines.at(n);
	int			nLineLen	= sLine.length();
	char *		pNext		= new char[nLineLen+1];
	
	memcpy( (void*)pNext, sLine.c_str(), nLineLen );				
	pNext[nLineLen] = '\0';	

	ppSrc[n]		= pNext;
	pnSrcLineLen[n] = nLineLen+1;
}
vsLines.clear();

// just for debugging purposes (lines print out just fine..)
for( int n = 0; n &lt; nNumLines; n ++ )			
	ATLTRACE( "line %d: %s

", n, ppSrc[n] );

// Create the shader
m_nShaderId = glCreateShader( m_nShaderType );

// Compile the shader
glShaderSource( m_nShaderId, nNumLines, (const GLchar**)ppSrc, (GLint*) pnSrcLineLen );
glCompileShader( m_nShaderId );

// Determine compile status
GLint nResult = GL_FALSE;
glGetShaderiv( m_nShaderId, GL_COMPILE_STATUS, &nResult );

Could anyone share insight as to what’s going wrong here?
thanks!

I liked your question on Stack Overflow better, when you actually formatted it so that people could read it. Speaking of SO, you should read this answer.

I’m not familiar with the code formatting tools in this forum’s editor. Stack Overflow’s is much easier to use.

Come on, it is not as the “code” button was completly hidden …
