[osg-users] INVALID_OPERATION with compressed textures with mipmaps in OSG 3.4.0.

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Scott,

The problem under OSX looks to be a driver bug, there is small chance that
it's related to the problems you are seeing but likely a different issue.

The problem you describe sounds like a driver bug too, testing out without
other drivers/hardware/OS combinations would help with this.  Have you
tried any other combinations?

There is possibility that different drivers handle the input data in
different ways.  The addition of the glTextureStorage2D usage might be
adding another code pathway in the drivers that adds/removes/changes the
way that data is handled introducing the inconsistency that you are seeing.
The driver shouldn't be doing this, but no code is perfect.

Without an example model that can reproduce the problem there isn't much
others can do at this stage.  Potentially we could add a catch for
compressed textures + mipmap levels into osg::Texture*, but before any mods
to the core OSG I'd need to have a test example to work from that exhibits
a problem so that can confirm that these changes actually work.

Robert.
