Hi!
We have noticed some crashes on some very basic video drivers.
These crashes occurred randomly on lines like:
strcmp((const char *)glGetString(GL_VERSION),"1.2")
On such video drivers, glGetString() returned NULL and bam!
The official documentation:
http://www.opengl.org/documentation/specs/man_pages/hardcopy/GL/html/gl/getstring.html
said that glGetString() can indeed fails in some cases like if we call
the function
between glBegin/glEnd.
By considerating the fact that glGetString() can potentially fail some
times in some circumstances,
I wondered if it would not be a great idea to code guard these kind of
code so we never, ever
want to do a straight strcmp() on an unchecked char* pointer.
What do you think about?
Igor.
