SDL_GL_SwapBuffers Segfault

Question

I'm getting a segfault that GDB says is coming from SDL_GL_SwapBuffers. However, I can't imagine why. The SDL documentation mentions no specific pre-conditions for calling swapBuffers except that double buffering be allowed. Is this an option I have to turn on while initializing OpenGL or is this a hardware capability thing?

My code:

(Ignore the unused variables, strange comments and other things. I haven't prettied this up at all. :P)

Answer 1

Why are you mixing gl and SDL calls? Seems like SDL should give you an OpenGL context and make it active, then you could call glSwapBuffers.

Answer 2

Documentation says:

Description

Swap the OpenGL buffers, if double-buffering is supported.

You are using SDL_GL_SwapBuffers() without enabling double-buffering.
