What do you do when you get a non-zero exit code from an OpenGL program? This is not an easy question to answer because this bug means that a variety of problems could have happened anywhere inside your code base. And once your code base is of a significant size (even a few thousand lines of code), tracking this problem down becomes very difficult. In this episode I show you how to use IntelliJ's builtin debugger to easily track down exactly where your program is crashing, and then diagnosing the cause of the problem. I go through two problems that I have run into very frequently throughout my development with OpenGL, and then I explain how to solve each problem using the debugger and some intuition.
