无法在OpenGL C ++中渲染三角形

Question

I've tried to follow this tutorial for OpenGL in C but when it comes to the second tutorial, the one that is supposed to draw a triangle on the window, I couldn't see anything. So this is what I did, I took the code that creates the OpenGL context, window and stuff and I tried to make it simpler: instead of using VAO I tried glBegin/glEnd.

I get this error: 1282 "invalid operation". I'm just using the same sentences taking directly from my LWJGL project. The main loop is so simple I can't understand how it does not work and the 1282 error is not giving me any information. Why do I still get an error?

Answer 1

glBegin / glEnd , along with all other immediate mode drawing functions and some more, have been deprecated, and cannot be used with an OpenGL 3.1 (and up) core and forward compatible contexts.

You can try requesting a 3.0 compatibility context (which includes all of the deprecated functionality). To do this, remove the glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT, GL_TRUE); and glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE); lines, and change the minor version hint to 0. Indeed, according to the OpenGL wiki , you should not explicitly request a forward compatible context with 3.1 and newer anyway. However, your best bet is to figure out what's wrong with the VAO code instead of mucking around with deprecated functionality.
