Program crashes on run

I think i have a good enough grasp on the theory of Opengl but what is supposed to be my first working program refuses to run.
I use both Code Blocks and Eclipse but while the program compiles on both just fine, it crashes on startup…
In Code Blocks i get the “Process terminated with status -1073741634” error message and i get a generic error message in Eclipse.
I’ve gone through my code meticulously but i can’t seem to find a mistake.

Here is my code :

And what happens when ran within a debugger ?
Does it crash from the first line ? If not, from which line ?

I have never used the debugger but i think it crashes on line 135.
That’s the line with “glDrawArrays (GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 3);” on it.
It also gives the following error message:

No source available for “nvoglv32!DrvValidateVersion() at 0x6459ec3a”

No idea what is going wrong here…

Edit:
I changed “glDrawArrays( GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 3);” to “glDrawArrays( GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 2);” and the error message went away…
I now have a new error message however :

cannot open output file RotatingCube.exe: Permission denied

my first suggestion would be:
put a “std::cin.get();” right before you call “init();”
then right after you call “init();” etc … you get the idea ?!

beside that, i suppose that you used a pointer wrong, like that in “glBufferData(…, …, sizeof(vertexcube), …)”
“vertexcube” is a pointer, and pointers have a size of 32bit / 64bit
if you use a c++ standard library container instead, like std::vector<> or std::array<>, you can eliminate that kind of problem

instead of:
sizeof(vertexcube)
use:
sizeof(float) * vertexcube.size()
