exit status 234?

[svdel...@gmail.com]

I am using github.com/go-gl/gl etc. and go for OpenGL development, when OpenGL occasionally fails to render visually, the program always exits with 'exit status 234' at the end of the program output.

As far as I know the program still exits cleanly and properly (a.k.a. the program does not crash/stop abruptly), but it doesn't work correctly.
Has anyone had trouble with this? Or are there any reasons/fixes?

Thanks for your help.

Which OS?  If Linux, which driver (e.g. Intel, nVidia, etc.)?  How are you setting up the OpenGL context (e.g. SDL, GLUT, etc.)?  Is it printing "exit status 234" or is it actually exiting with that status code?  Have you tried attaching gdb to your program?

Yes it is linux. AMD catalyst 13.4 on Arch linux. OpenGL is initialized with glfw3. It prints 'exit status 234' before exiting, but it returns 1 to the OS. Yes the problem is when the program reaches the OpenGL part, gdb can't go into the source for it because the drivers have no debug info. Otherwise, the program runs the same with or without gdb.

Playing with it more shows that when the program doesn't work and it doesn't output 'exit status 234' then it returns 234 to the OS.

IIRC, on Linux at least, exit code with the 8th bit set (that is, >=
128) mean the program exited due to it being sent a signal it did not
handle or ignore. You could start from there. I'd at first try to run
it under strace and inspect the strace's log post mortem to see if
there's anything of interest toward its end.
