Any word on the GL bug in windows yet Sam? Im just curious cause it crashes
on exit, but on some computers I’ve tested, itll even reboot the computer on
exit and i wonder how much of that is due to my own programming “skillz”

If you’re getting a crash on exit, you probably have memory corruption in
your program. If your program is clean, you have buggy drivers.
I don’t mean to declare SDL blameless, but 99.9% of the time this comes
up, this is what has happened, and both are out of SDL’s control.

unfortunately i dont think thats the case this time. i sent other GL
programs through my debugger which dont use SDL and they dont give the error
nor do they crash on exit. There is the possibility of course that SDL is
using some aspect of the driver that is buggy, while these other programs
are not, but i really dont think so because even when i just init the screen
with the gl flag and then quit without any other code, it crashes in the
sdl_quit code. Maybe ill try it on other computers and see if i dont get
the same results to make certain though.> ----- Original Message -----
