GLEW 1.10: EXC_BAD_ACCESS in glewInit

Question

Trying to initialize the recent GLEW, the program interrupts and lldb gives the mentioned message.

Minimal example:

#define GLEW_STATIC
#include <GL/glew.h>

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    glewExperimental = GL_TRUE;
    glewInit();    <<<< EXC_BAD_ACCESS here
}

The stack frames the debugger outputs:

1 ___lldb_unnamed_function...:

Is this some error in GLEW, or in my configuration?

Answer 1

Obviously a gl context needs to be created first.

So in case of glfw, glfwCreateWindow needs to be successfully called before glewInit can.
