OpenGL tessellation bug

Joseph_K_ · ‎03-30-2014

Platform: Windows 8.1 x64, MSVC 2010 x64, Intel HD4600 (4770K), driver version: 10.18.10.3496

The problem: I got shader linking error when linking a program using control and evaluation "Type mismatch: Type of gl_TessLevelInner different between shaders." If I comment out the line in ES where I read that value, whole program crashes (Access violation) when trying to bind this program via glBindProgram. Tested on several nV/AMD GPUs without any issues. However, other very simple tessellation program seems to work.

Control shader:

#version 400 compatibility

layout(vertices=1)out;

uniform vec4 LightPosition;

int GreaterVec(vec3 a,vec3 b){
return int(dot(sign(a-b),vec3(4,2,1)));
}
int ComputeMult(vec3 A,vec3 B,vec3 C,vec4 L){
vec3 n=cross(C-A,L.xyz-A*L.w);
return int(sign(dot(n,B-A)));
}
bool IsEdgeVisible(in vec4 A,in vec4 B){
   vec3 M=+A.xyz+A.www;
   vec3 N=+B.xyz+B.www;
   vec3 O=-A.xyz+A.www;
   vec3 P=-B.xyz+B.www;
   vec3 NM=N-M;
   vec3 PO=P-O;
   float Left=0;
   float Right=1;
   for(int i=0;i<3;++i){
       if(NM==0){
           if(M<0)return false;
       }else{
           if(NM>0)Left=max(Left,-M/NM);
           else Right=min(Right,-M/NM);
       }

       if(PO==0){
           if(O<0)return false;
       }else{
           if(PO>0)Left=max(Left,-O/PO);
           else Right=min(Right,-O/PO);
       }
   }
   return Left<=Right;
}

   vec4 X=A+t*B+l*C;
return (t>0)&&(t<1)&&(l>0)&&(l<1)&&
      all(greaterThan(X.xyz,-X.www))&&all(lessThan(X.xyz,X.www));
}

#define MATRIX gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix

   vec4 D=MATRIX*d;
   vec3 n=(MATRIX*vec4(cross(b.xyz-a.xyz,l.xyz-a.xyz*l.w),0)).xyz;
   ivec3 Corner=ivec3(1+sign(n))>>1;
if(Corner.z==1);Corner=ivec3(1)-Corner;
   int Diag=Corner.x+(Corner.y<<1)-1;
   if(IsFullVisible(A,B-A,C-A,Diag))return true;

   if(IsEdgeVisible(A,C))return true;

A little mistake - it crashes on glUseProgram, not bind... (btw where is post edit button?)

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for bring this to our attention. I have disucssed it with our OopenGL driver development team and they will investigate the issue. When I have an update I will let you know.

Michael_C_Intel2 · ‎09-12-2014

Hi Joseph,

A new driver has been released that has a fix for your issue.
