Hey guys! I’m trying to use the debug callback feature in OpenGL, and now I have an issue. I created the window using a debug context, and now GL_CONTEXT_FLAGS doesn’t contain the GL_CONTEXT_FLAG_DEBUG_BIT bit. I use OpenGL 4.5 and my card is a Nvidia GTX 970. If I skip the check, the debug context seems to work fine.
Any ideas? Here’s my window-opengl context creation code:
bool GLGraphicsWrapper::InitializeWindowContext(GLint major, GLint minor, HWND windowHandle) {
static PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR pfd = // pfd Tells Windows How We Want Things To Be
{
sizeof(PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR), // Size Of This Pixel Format Descriptor
1, // Version Number
PFD_DRAW_TO_WINDOW | // Format Must Support Window
PFD_SUPPORT_OPENGL | // Format Must Support OpenGL
PFD_DOUBLEBUFFER, // Must Support Double Buffering
PFD_TYPE_RGBA, // Request An RGBA Format
32, // Select Our Color Depth
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, // Color Bits Ignored
0, // No Alpha Buffer
0, // Shift Bit Ignored
0, // No Accumulation Buffer
0, 0, 0, 0, // Accumulation Bits Ignored
24, // 24Bit Z-Buffer (Depth Buffer)
0, // No Stencil Buffer
0, // No Auxiliary Buffer
PFD_MAIN_PLANE, // Main Drawing Layer
0, // Reserved
0, 0, 0 // Layer Masks Ignored
};
if (!(hDC = GetDC(windowHandle)))
return false;
unsigned int PixelFormat;
if (!(PixelFormat = ChoosePixelFormat(hDC, &pfd)))
return false;
if (!SetPixelFormat(hDC, PixelFormat, &pfd))
return false;
int attribs[] =
{
WGL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION_ARB, major,
WGL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION_ARB, minor,
WGL_CONTEXT_FLAGS_ARB,
WGL_CONTEXT_FORWARD_COMPATIBLE_BIT_ARB |
WGL_CONTEXT_DEBUG_BIT_ARB,
WGL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK_ARB, WGL_CONTEXT_CORE_PROFILE_BIT_ARB,
0
};
PFNWGLCREATECONTEXTATTRIBSARBPROC wglCreateContextAttribsARB = NULL;
wglCreateContextAttribsARB = (PFNWGLCREATECONTEXTATTRIBSARBPROC)
gl3wGetProcAddress("wglCreateContextAttribsARB");
if (wglCreateContextAttribsARB != NULL)
hRC = wglCreateContextAttribsARB(hDC, 0, attribs);
if (!(hRC = wglCreateContext(hDC)))
return false;
if (!wglMakeCurrent(hDC, hRC))
return false;
return TRUE;
}
And my debug callback creation code:
GLint flags;
glGetIntegerv(GL_CONTEXT_FLAGS, &flags);
if (flags & GL_CONTEXT_FLAG_DEBUG_BIT) {
glEnable(GL_DEBUG_OUTPUT);
glEnable(GL_DEBUG_OUTPUT_SYNCHRONOUS);
glDebugMessageCallback((GLDEBUGPROC)glDebugOutput, nullptr);
glDebugMessageControl(GL_DONT_CARE, GL_DONT_CARE, GL_DONT_CARE, 0, nullptr, GL_TRUE);
}
In case you’re wondering why I need to create the window myself, I’m planning on supporting non-GL systems like Vulkan, DirectX, Metal, and GNM, so a system like GLFW won’t cut it.
