SIGSEGV even with runtime.LockOSThread() with gl.CreateShader

go.mod:

module github.com/qhdwight/biomequest

go 1.13.3

require (
	github.com/go-gl/gl v0.0.0-20190320180904-bf2b1f2f34d7
	github.com/go-gl/glfw v0.0.0-20190409004039-e6da0acd62b1

)

I am first initializing GLFW, setting window hints to use core profile forward compatible with 4.1, making content current, then calling gl.Init(). That all works fine with no panicking. However, as soon as I call gl.CreateShader with the gl.VERTEX_SHADER (0x8B31) code I get a segmentation violation.

I will also note that this same program works fine on my Windows machine.
It does not work if I use OpenGL 4.1, but works if I use 4.6 (which is not available on macOS)

I am on macOS Catalina 10.15.

My code is in a few different places but I have:

	}
	window, err := initWindow()
	if err != nil {

	vertShader, err := newShader(vertPath, gl.VERTEX_SHADER)
	if err != nil {

	}

	if err := glfw.Init(); err != nil {

	glfw.WindowHint(glfw.Resizable, glfw.False)
	glfw.WindowHint(glfw.ContextVersionMajor, 4)
	glfw.WindowHint(glfw.ContextVersionMinor, 1)
	glfw.WindowHint(glfw.OpenGLProfile, glfw.OpenGLCoreProfile)
	glfw.WindowHint(glfw.OpenGLForwardCompatible, glfw.True)
	return nil
}

func initWindow() (*glfw.Window, error) {
	window, err := glfw.CreateWindow(width, height, "Biomequest", nil, nil)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}
	window.MakeContextCurrent()
	window.SetInputMode(glfw.StickyKeysMode, gl.TRUE)
	window.SetInputMode(glfw.CursorMode, glfw.CursorDisabled)
	glfw.SwapInterval(0)
	return window, nil
}

func compileShader(src string, shaderType uint32) (*Shader, error) {
	handle := gl.CreateShader(shaderType) // <-------- WHERE IT CRASHES
	csrc, csrcFree := gl.Strs(src + "\x00")
	gl.ShaderSource(handle, 1, csrc, nil)
	csrcFree()
	gl.CompileShader(handle)
	var status int32
	gl.GetShaderiv(handle, gl.COMPILE_STATUS, &status)

In a different go file I was accidentally importing the wrong version (v4.6 instead of v4.1). This is why you see that in the error logs.

Hmm, I wonder if there’s anything in common here with golang/go#35177.

Thank you. I had the same problem.
