Minimal QQuickFramebufferObject code triggers error: "glLinkProgram - GL_INVALID_ENUM" in CodeXL

[Stefan Monov76]

I've cleaned up the Qt example "textureinsgnode" to produce something more minimal. But when I run the code in the CodeXL OpenGL debugger (with "Break on OpenGL error" enabled), it breaks in the QOpenGLShaderProgram::link function, with the message "glLinkProgram - GL_INVALID_ENUM". This confuses me, because glLinkProgram doesn't take any enums, only a program id.

Why is this error happening?

Note that the program works fine outside CodeXL.

Platform note: This has been tested only on one PC, with the following specs:

• OS: Ubuntu Linux 16.04
• GPU: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family

My code

As I said, I've based my testcase on the textureinsgnode sample app bundled with Qt. Since mine is a derived work, I have to first post the license terms here:

        fillMode: Image.Stretch
    }

    MyItem {
        anchors.fill: parent
    }

I think it may be a problem in the cheap Intel GPU/drivers I have, or maybe it's a bug in CodeXL.

Note that the return value value of link() in my code is true, meaning "success".

I've also uploaded the complete testcase project here, if you want to run it more easily. (the download button is at the top-right corner of that page).
