Hi,

    I was trying to see what kind of problems the debug jar catches so I ran a simple program that renders the basic triangle with the basic vertex and fragment shaders and to my surprise a render that works without the javaagent running, fails when using it it.
    These are the VM options I used:  -javaagent:<path>/lwjglx-debug-1.0.0.jar=d;t;o=trace.log
                                                      -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions
                                                      -XX:+UseZGC

I've attached the trace.log with the error but for a shorter read this is the part that baffles me

    Again, I don't understand why this works when I don't use the javaagent. I do have error reporting behavior in the shader class and I don't get any problem:
private void logShaderStatus(int shaderId, int statusToCheck) {
        try (MemoryStack stack = MemoryStack.stackPush()) {
            if (glGetShaderi(shaderId, statusToCheck) == NULL) {
                ByteBuffer infoLog = stack.malloc(256 * Integer.BYTES);
                glGetShaderInfoLog(shaderId, new int[256], infoLog);

                System.out.println(infoLog.asReadOnlyBuffer().toString());
            }
        }
    }

This error message:

GL_INVALID_OPERATION error generated. Object is not a program or shader object.

is generated by the OpenGL driver. When you see something like this, then you definitely generate invalid OpenGL calls.
There is also a difference between "the program works" as in "it renders what I expect" and: "the program does not generate any OpenGL errors".
I bet that at some point you call `glGetShaderi()` with a shader object id/handle that does not (any more?) represent a shader object. Maybe you deleted the shader object previously.
Do you have a minimal, complete and verifiable example program to check?

There is also a difference between "the program works" as in "it renders what I expect" and: "the program does not generate any OpenGL errors".

I guess in some cases but I don't see the difference here. From the stacktrace it seems the error happens during glLinkProgram. The shaders are detached afterwards.

I'll leave a github link: https://github.com/ilumar589/LWJGLGatheredStuff

Thanks for the response!

Yeah, this is somewhat a problem with the trace mode, because for some methods, it does not trace the call when that call generated an error. This is for all calls that also return a return value.
But anyway, you still see the function that generated the error in the callstack of the error log.
But the problem is that you call glGetShaderi() with a program object id (to query the link status), however that function is only valid to be called with a shader object id/handle, NOT a program id/handle. See: https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL-Refpages/gl4/html/glGetShader.xhtml
In order to query the program link status, you _must_ use glGetProgrami: https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL-Refpages/gl4/html/glGetProgram.xhtml

Oh, that was extremely stupid of me for not noticing. Thank you! Sorry for the time waste on such a trivial thing 

Sure, no problem. Always glad to help. I guess the morale of the story is: ALWAYS trust the output of LWJGLX/debug. If it says, you have an error, then you have an error.

Yup
