How to properly initialize a model matrix in C? - c

Question

I tried to convert the code of the question I asked over here.
But when I try to run it, I run into an exception and it points to the mat4(which is an 2-d array of 4x4 floats) header of this(CGLM, which is use for OpenGL math in C as GLM is C++ only library) library.
The C++ code works fine and runs perfectly but why does it crash in C.
Here is the C snippet of the code where 'CGLM' is used(this is the code that crashes):-
glUseProgram(shaderProgram);
mat4 model =
{
{ 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f },
{ 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f },
{ 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f },
{ 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f },
};
mat4 projection;
glm_ortho(0.0f, (GLfloat)(WIDTH), (GLfloat)(HEIGHT), 0.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, projection);
vect2 scale = { 2.0f, 2.0f };
vect2 position = { 50.0f, 0.0f };
vec4 color = { 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.5f };
GLfloat rotation = 0.0f;
glm_translate(model, (vec3){ position[0], position[1], 0.0f });
glm_translate(model, (vec3){ 0.5f * scale[0], 0.5f * scale[1], 0.0f });
glm_rotate(model, rotation, (vec3){ 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f }); // Why is this function crashing?
glm_translate(model, (vec3){ -0.5f * scale[0], -0.5f * scale[1], 0.0f });
glm_scale(model, (vec3){ scale[0] * width, scale[1] * height, 1.0f });
glUniformMatrix4fv(glGetUniformLocation(shaderProgram, "projection"), 1, GL_FALSE, (GLfloat *)projection);
glUniformMatrix4fv(glGetUniformLocation(shaderProgram, "model"), 1, GL_FALSE, (GLfloat *)model);
glUniform4f(glGetUniformLocation(shaderProgram, "spriteColor"), color[0], color[1], color[2], color[3]);
Here is the C++ snippet of the code where GLM is used:-
glUseProgram(shaderProgram);
glm::mat4 model(1.0f);
glm::mat4 projection = glm::ortho(0.0f, static_cast<GLfloat>(WIDTH), static_cast<GLfloat>(HEIGHT), 0.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f);
glm::vec2 scale = glm::vec2(2.0f, 2.0f);
glm::vec2 position = glm::vec2(50.0f, 0.0f);
glm::vec4 color = glm::vec4(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.5f);
GLfloat rotation = 0.0f;
model = glm::translate(model, glm::vec3(position, 0.0f));
model = glm::translate(model, glm::vec3(0.5f * scale.x, 0.5f * scale.y, 0.0f));
model = glm::rotate(model, rotation, glm::vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f));
model = glm::translate(model, glm::vec3(-0.5f * scale.x, -0.5f * scale.y, 0.0f));
model = glm::scale(model, glm::vec3(scale * glm::vec2(width, height), 1.0f));
glUniformMatrix4fv(glGetUniformLocation(shaderProgram, "projection"), 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(projection));
glUniformMatrix4fv(glGetUniformLocation(shaderProgram, "model"), 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(model));
glUniform4f(glGetUniformLocation(shaderProgram, "spriteColor"), color.x, color.y, color.z, color.w);

See CGLM documentation
According to the getting started
Aligment is Required: vec4 and mat4 requires 16 byte aligment because
vec4 and mat4 operations are vectorized by SIMD instructions
(SSE/AVX).
So you need to initialize identity matrix like:
mat4 model;
glm_mat4_identity(model);
....
mat4 projection;
glm_mat4_identity(projection);
glm_ortho(0.0f, (GLfloat)(WIDTH), (GLfloat)(HEIGHT), 0.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, projection);
