fglrx 13.20.5 OGL 4.3 CORE: glDrawElements causes Segmentation fault

[YousryA]

Using glDrawElements with the draw mode GL_PATCHES for a shader without tessellation-evaluation or geometry shader causes a SEGV:

#0  0x00007f1325cb4d7d in ?? () from /usr/lib/fglrx/dri/fglrx_dri.so

Example (with drawMode = GL_PATCHES):

glDrawElementsInstanced(drawMode, patcheCount * patchSize, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, 0, instances);

Have you an attrib array enabled but no pointer set for it?

Alternatively - what is "instances" in your code? A syster-memory pointer? An offset into a buffer? Have you got things set up correctly for whichever it is?

I checked my log:

[YATessellationModel] Patches: 14280
[YATessellationModel] attribVertexLocation 0 enabled

Instances is defined as:

    uint instances;

I accidentally activated my old shadow-map rendering, where several default shader programs are used. These are simple depth map renderer without GS or TS stages. In these cases the fglrx driver crashes with a buffer overrun. In my opinion this is an indication for an unhanded exception and at least annoying.
