VAO isn't rendering my simple triangle, what could be causing this? (OpenGL) | C

Time:12-15

I've already looked all over the internet for the past couple days and I cannot find a fix to this problem. I believe I've got the basic debugging stuff setup yet I get no errors telling me what I've done wrong. This is my first attempt at a renderer, and I'm also trying to use a OOP/DOD (Data oriented design) structure. I think the error is just something small that I am blind to, or I'm completely doing this wrong... please help if you can.

Also I'm using shaders, EBOs, VBOs, linking to a VAO (I think) Additional information: I'm using SDL GLAD(opengl 4.6, core)

If you need me to reply with anything else that could help you help me, let me know.

Here is my console output: screenshot

All I see on the window: screenshot

Here are my files (that might have the error):

CodePudding user response:

    glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, this->VBO);
    glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(this->vertices), &this->vertices, GL_STATIC_DRAW);

    glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, this->EBO);
    glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(this->indices), &this->indices, GL_STATIC_DRAW);

this->vertices is a std::vector. You are uploading raw pointer values where there should be actual data in the buffer.

    glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, this->VBO);
    glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(float) * this->vertices.size(), this->vertices.data(), GL_STATIC_DRAW);

    glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, this->EBO);
    glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(int) * this->indices.size(), this->indices.data(), GL_STATIC_DRAW);
