Now, this is an extremely odd behavior.

TL;DR -- in a render-to-texture setup, upon resizing the window (framebuffer 0) only the very next call to glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT) for bound framebuffer 0 (the window's client area) gives GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY, only on one of two GPUs, however rendering still proceeds properly and correctly.

Now, all the gritty details:

So this is on a Vaio Z with two GPUs (that can be switched-to with a physical toggle button on the machine):

OpenGL 4.2.0 @ NVIDIA Corporation GeForce GT 640M LE/PCIe/SSE2 (GLSL: 4.20 NVIDIA via Cg compiler) OpenGL 4.0.0 - Build 9.17.10.2867 @ Intel Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 (GLSL: 4.00 - Build 9.17.10.2867)

My program is in Go 1.0.3 64-bit under Win 7 64-bit using GLFW 64-bit.

I have a fairly simple and straightforward render-to-texture "mini pipeline". First, normal 3D geometry is rendered with the simplest of shaders (no lighting, nothing, just textured triangle meshes which are just a number of cubes and planes) to a framebuffer that has both a depth/stencil renderbuffer as depth/stencil attachment and a texture2D as color attachment. For the texture all filtering is disabled as are mip-maps.

Then I render a full-screen quad (a single "oversized" full-screen tri actually) just sampling from said framebuffer texture (color attachment) with texelFetch(tex, gl_FragCoord.xy, 0) so no wrapping is used.

Both GPUs render this just fine, both when I force a core profile and when I don't. No GL errors are ever reported for this, all renders as expected too. Except when I resize the window while using the Intel HD 4000 GPU's GL 4.0 renderer (both in Core profile and Comp profile). Only in that case, a single resize will record a GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY error directly after the very next glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT) call on framebuffer 0 (the screen), but only once after the resize, not in every subsequent loop iteration.

Interestingly, I don't even actually do any allocations on resize! I have temporarily disabled ALL logic occuring on window resize -- that is, right now I simply fully ignore the window-resize event, meaning the RTT framebuffer and its depth and color attachment resolutions are not even changed/recreated. Meaning the next glViewPort will still use the same dimensions as when the window and GL context was first created, but anyhoo the error occurs on glClear() (not before, only after, only once -- I've double- and triple-checked).

Would this be a driver bug, or is there anything I could be doing wrongly here?
