Program crashes when calling glTransformFeedbackVaryings

Hi there,

i think i have a beginners-problem while first time implementing a transform-feedback: The program does not return from calling glTransformFeedbackVaryings.

This is the code:

 
    success                 = GL_FALSE;                                         errHandle           = vShNewHandle;
   
    const GLchar* feedbackVaryings[] = { "cppReturn" };

[...]

    vShNewHandle            = glCreateShader  (GL_VERTEX_SHADER); 
    tcShNewHandle           = glCreateShader  (GL_TESS_CONTROL_SHADER); 
    teShNewHandle           = glCreateShader  (GL_TESS_EVALUATION_SHADER);
    gShNewHandle            = glCreateShader  (GL_GEOMETRY_SHADER);   
    fShNewHandle            = glCreateShader  (GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER);   
    prgNewHandle            = glCreateProgram (); 

    clsRegEx hasCode ("[\
\\r][\	 ]*void\\s*main\\s*\\(");      // Regular expresseion to test if a shader-string contains "void main ("
    
    if (hasCode.Matches(vShLnkC)) {
        success                 = GL_FALSE;                                     errHandle           = vShNewHandle;   
        glShaderSource          (vShNewHandle, 1, &vShLnkC, NULL);              glCompileShader     (vShNewHandle); 
        glGetShaderiv           (vShNewHandle,  GL_COMPILE_STATUS, &success);   if (success != GL_TRUE) goto ex;
        glAttachShader          (prgNewHandle, vShNewHandle); 
    
        if (hasCode.Matches(fShLnkC)) {

[... - Tesselation-, geometry- & fragment-shader are compiled here if fragment-shader-string ('fShLnkC') contains a main-function]

        else {
            glTransformFeedbackVaryings (prgNewHandle, 1, feedbackVaryings, GL_INTERLEAVED_ATTRIBS);    
        }
    }

Note, that the program works fine as long as a fragment-shader is given. If not, glTransformFeedbackVaryings is called and the program crashes.

Any idea what is wrong??

Best,
Frank
