A slew of OpenGL errors reported in VTK version 8.2.0, static libs, Windows

jmcauley · February 26, 2019, 10:22am

I used -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=“0” to build a static lib version of 8.2.0

I built debug libs using Visual Studio 2017. I used the cmake-gui to configure, generate, and open the generated solution and built the libs using debug x64 option

I built a separate dll project (it displays 3D, volume, and 2D, slice, images) and referenced all the static VTK libs plus opengl32.lib and Dbghelp.lib.

I then built an app that uses my dll to display 3D 2D and images.

Things work OK but I see a slew of OpenGL errors reported in the window that VTK displays to show text messages. This makes my display updates run very slowly.

Nothing has gone bang, yet, it’s just irritating and I couldn’t release the software and we have a release scheduled for next month.

Here is a sample of the output:

I should mention that I commented out a call to vtkCheckOpenGLErrorsWithStack(“glDepthMask”); on line 427 of vtkOpenGLState.cxx to see the errors in the post above.

With the line non commented out I see this instead:

There are a LOT of invalid framebuffer operations reported by line 427

It’s been two days and no reply from Kitware.

I am reporting a bug, the bug makes it impossible for me to ship with version 8.2 of VTK. I have a deadline coming up.

I expected a prompt response.

I expected some combination of:

a request for clarification or more data
a work around
a fix

I have an NVIDIA Quadro M1000M, the NVIDIA control panel can save a complete description of my system? Do you want it? Where can I upload it?

Is this the correct place to report bugs?

GitLab Issues is where to report bugs: https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/issues

This forum is for discussion of VTK development.

I wouldn’t call two days a slow response, unless you’re paying for support. Two weeks maybe…

I’ve had bug reports go unanswered for months in other open source projects. Not saying that is good of course, but I would never expect a reply within two days.

@jmcauley these errors should go away if you configure with

-DVTK_REPORT_OPENGL_ERRORS:BOOL=OFF

jmcauley · March 1, 2019, 12:31pm

Thanks for the link.

The error reports go away.

I tried that flag yesterday and I tried a release build. Neither change sped up the UI (rotating models, scrolling through slices).

We have decided not to convert to 8.2 right now. We will do that after the release.
