Title: Crash destroying a context
Post by: panithadrum on October 10, 2010, 05:37:23 pm

I am using SFML2 (last revision, shared libraries), W7 Home and Visual Studio 2010. I created the project with CMake.

It works fine until the window (or context) is out of scope (when it destroys the GL context). I get this: (http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/4917/imagei.png) (http://img301.imageshack.us/i/imagei.png/)

The problems appears within this code:

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
int main() {
sf::RenderWindow Window;
// Or sf::Context Context;
}

I don't know if this is related to some other problems in the forum.

ATI card?

It is a Intel graphics media accelerator 3150. Looks like it suffers like an ATI.

What's the reason of this bug? Just happens with ATI cards?

The reason is the global OpenGL context managed by SFML, which is destroyed at global exit. Apparently ATI/Intel drivers don't like that.
