glewInit Segfault with GLEW 2.0 - c

Question

I'm trying to write a simple program that just opens a window with GLEW 2.0 and GLFW 3, but am being met with a segfault...
Here is my source:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <GL/glew.h>
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
const int height = 100;
const int width = 100;
if (!glfwInit()) {
printf("Glfw failed to init\n");
return -1;
}
// 4x antialiasing
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_SAMPLES, 4);
// We want OpenGL 3.3
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
// We don't want the old OpenGL
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
GLFWwindow* window;
window = glfwCreateWindow(width, height, "Tutorial 01", NULL, NULL);
if (window == NULL) {
printf("GLFW Failed to open a window. "
"Intel GPUs don't support 3.3\n");
glfwTerminate();
return -1;
}
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
glewExperimental = 1;
if (glewInit() != GLEW_OK) {
printf("GLEW Failed to initialize.\n");
return -1;
}
glfwSetInputMode(window, GLFW_STICKY_KEYS, GL_TRUE);
do {
glfwSwapBuffers(window);
glfwPollEvents();
} while( glfwGetKey(window, GLFW_KEY_ESCAPE ) != GLFW_PRESS &&
glfwWindowShouldClose(window) == 0 );
}
I compile this with
gcc test.c -g -lGLEW -lglfw -o test
And receive a segfault upon running the program. Using gdb, a backtrace on the segfault gives
0 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
1 0x00007ffff7ba02a7 in glxewInit () from /usr/lib64/libGLEW.so.2.0
2 0x00007ffff7ba87a3 in glewInit () from /usr/lib64/libGLEW.so.2.0
3 0x0000555555554bd4 in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffdf18) at test.c:39
I am on Ubuntu 17.04, and I installed glew/glfw with Ubuntus pacakge manager with
sudo apt-get install libglew2.0 libglew-dev libglfw3 libglfw3-dev
I was following this tutorial here. If it makes any difference, I don't have a desktop manager or a compositor running. I'm using i3wm. However, the segfault still occurs when running alongside the compton compositor.
Lastly, just so I can provide some extra info, the ldd shows the linked libraries of test as

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

There is a bug report saying that core profile was broken in GLEW until 2.0.0.
Thus, you should update the GLEW. If that won't work, switch to compatibility profile by replacing GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE flag with GLFW_OPENGL_COMPAT_PROFILE.
