can someone tell me why this code doesnt work?

[sandbucket]

well i tried the opengl loader generator.
i generated the files with this code from there website:

lua LoadGen.lua core_4_3 -style=pointer_c -spec=gl -version=4.3 -profile=core -stdext=gl_ubiquitous.txt -stdext=gl_plat_3_3.txt

my program compiles fine but still crashes. are there any compatibility issues for opengl loader generator? im gonna try gl3w. does opengl loader generator work for any of you?

here is my code. if you see a problem please let me know:

#include "gl_core_4_3.h"
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/freeglut.h>
#include <GL/glu.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

    glutCreateWindow("first opengl program");
 
      if(ogl_LoadFunctions() == ogl_LOAD_FAILED)
      {

        exit(1);
      }

	    	    GLuint frag = glCreateShader(GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER);
 
	    	    GLint vlen = (GLint)strlen(vshader);
	    	    GLint flen = (GLint)strlen(fshader);
 
	    	    glShaderSource(vert, 1, &vshader, &vlen);
	    	    glShaderSource(frag, 1, &fshader, &flen);
	    	    glCompileShader(vert);
	    	    glCompileShader(frag);
 
 
	    	    glAttachShader(prog, vert);
	    	    glAttachShader(prog, frag);
	    	    glLinkProgram(prog);
	    	    glUseProgram(prog);
 
	    glVertexAttribPointer(0, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0,(void *)0);
	    glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
}
 
void display()

	glBindVertexArray(vao);

	glFlush();
}

thanks.

It'd be helpful to know where it crashed.

[sandbucket]

it crashes in two different places. if i use the function init() after ogl_LoadFunctions() it crashes, but if i copy the code into the main function it crashes at the first glShaderSource(); do you have to call ogl_LoadFunctions() in every function that uses opengl code?

You're trying to get a core profile but you're manually including glu.h and gl.h. I always seem to have trouble if I include those headers. Try getting rid of those and also use glewExperimental if you're using Glew. Personally, I find gl3w to be much easier for core profile but that's all it will load.

hey all.
i just want to thank you all so much for the help. i figured everything out and am super happy. thanks
