To be a little more useful to you.

OpenGL is not a software library. What OS you’re using is largely irelevant (save in so far as device driver availability); far more important is what graphics hardware you have. Because OpenGL is a specification; GL vendors implement that specification, typically as a device driver for their GPUs. So what functionality you have and how it works (and what bugs it might have) is therefore almost entirely dependent on your GPU and it’s device driver; telling us what OS you have is almost as useless as telling us what colour your keyboard is.

I don’t think it is a hardware or driver problem. This is the example of the book “Opengl programming guide: … 9th”. It is the example 3.5, the source code is named 03-drawcommands.cpp in src/03-drawcommands.
I would ask if you can try the code and post the results before to get into hardware details.
The entire source code need to be fixed so I can sent you a fixed copy: https://ufile.io/q90i9

assuming that your system supports the GL version needed for that example code, you still have not a single check for any possible error in that code, i’d guess you get some …

base::Initialize(title); /* has it succeeded ? */
 
    ShaderInfo shader_info[] = 
    {
        { GL_VERTEX_SHADER, "media/shaders/primitive_restart/primitive_restart.vs.glsl" },
        { GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER, "media/shaders/primitive_restart/primitive_restart.fs.glsl" },
        { GL_NONE, NULL }
    };
 
    render_prog = LoadShaders(shader_info); /* has it succeeded ? */
 
    glUseProgram(render_prog); /* do you have a valid program ? */

... etc ...

you should check each major step for success, maybe a “bool Initialize();” that returns true on success is more helpful that a “void Initialize();” that assumes success

Does your hardware support GLSL 330?
Does your hardware support ClearBuffer?
Does your hardware support BaseVertex?
Does your hardware support instancing?

I think hardware is very relevant here.

OK, so we’ve established that your hardware does support the required version.

What happens when you check for errors in your code?

I am asking this because the symptom you describe is exactly what would happen if you had GL errors, although it’s difficult to say what potential causes may be at this early stage.

I am asking you to do the checking rather than downloading your code and doing it for you because I want you to learn this stuff.

The debugging mode print this:

Debug Message: SOURCE(0x8246), TYPE(0x824C), ID(0x00000502), SEVERITY(0x9146), "GL_INVALID_OPERATION error generated. No active program."
...

I supposed it is a logical error. Some gl function is not in the right method or some parameters are missing.
Can you try the code and post the output, without do the checking? You should get 4 triangles of mixed colours.
The path of the file is src/03-drawcommands/03-drawcommands.cpp,
If you use GNU/Linux, run cmake into the build directory and run make.
Anyway thank you.

Boy, you’re not kidding! The 9th edition OpenGL Programming Guide examples definitely takes some hacking to get it all to build on Linux in debug and release. That’s not very new-user friendly.

The code was obviously written with Linux compatibility in mind, but it’s got lots of MS Visual C+±isms in it. I wonder why the author didn’t test or get someone to test on Linux before release?

At some point I’ll have to clean up my patches and get them submitted.

The debugging mode print this:

Debug Message: SOURCE(0x8246), TYPE(0x824C), ID(0x00000502),  SEVERITY(0x9146), "GL_INVALID_OPERATION error generated. No active  program."

Ok, well here on Linux, also on an NVidia GPU+drivers (but newer GPU and slightly newer drivers), it runs fine in debug and release builds, producing the desired result. GPU = GTX760, GL drivers = 378.13.

Because you’re running on NVidia drivers, you’re in luck. From when I’ve noticed, the GL debug callback the GL driver calls when GL errors are triggered (which is printing the message you quoted above BTW) is called underneath the GL call that triggered the error. So, you can just put a breakpoint on that callback function, and when it’s called you can walk up the stack and see the exact GL call that’s triggering the error.

In the red book examples, the function you want to put a breakpoint on is VermilionApplication :: DebugOutputCallback() (in vapp.h). That’s the function that’s registered as a GL debug callback using glDebugMessageCallbackARB() in vermiilion.cpp.
