Bug 368

---- Reported by miq 2009-02-02 06:57:42 ----

I experience a VM crash on a computer with a Radeon HD 3650 AGB when I use the
JOGL-TextRenderer in a DisplayList. Rendering text outside the list works as
expected. The same program works on a bunch of other computers with NVidia and
Intel GPUs.

Here is the vm-dump:
#
# An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x691b9c15, pid=2644, tid=2724
#
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (10.0-b23 mixed mode, sharing windows-x86)
# Problematic frame:
# C  [atioglxx.dll+0x199c15]
#
# An error report file with more information is saved as:

Sample program that crashes on the ATI GPU

The TextRenderer really isn't designed for use in display lists -- it may require flushing primitives to the 
graphics card in the middle of the rendering of a large amount of text -- but regardless the OpenGL 
implementation shouldn't crash, but should signal an OpenGL error. You should report this crash to ATI 
and provide them your test case. There is nothing to be done on the JOGL side to correct this. Closing as 
"will not fix".

Ok, thanks for your fast and thorough reply. I will change the code accordingly. 

Maybe it should be noted in the API documentation, that using the TextRenderer
in display lists may cause problems or is not recommended.

I will report the problem to ATI nevertheless.
