glPrimitiveRestartIndex doesn't work as it should in Xcode

Hi,

I have trouble porting my Qt code from Visual Studio to Xcode. I use glPrimitiveRestartIndex to draw many triangle strips with one draw call, and it works nice in Visual Studio, but doesn't work in Xcode. I wrote little function:

void drawStrip(QOpenGLShaderProgram* program) {
vector<QVector3D> vertices;
vertices.push_back(QVector3D(0,1,0));
vertices.push_back(QVector3D(0,0,0));
vertices.push_back(QVector3D(1,1,0));
vertices.push_back(QVector3D(1,0,0));
vertices.push_back(QVector3D(0,-1,0));
vertices.push_back(QVector3D(1,-1,0));

size_t numVertices = 6;
size_t numTriangles = 2;

GLushort indices[] = {0,1,2,3, 0xFFFF, 1,4,3,5};


size_t numIndices = 8;

arrayBuf.bind();
arrayBuf.allocate(&vertices[0], numVertices*sizeof(QVector3D));

indexBuf.bind();
indexBuf.allocate(indices, numIndices*sizeof(GLushort));

quintptr offset = 0;

int vertexLocation = program->attributeLocation("a_position");
program->enableAttributeArray(vertexLocation);
program->setAttributeBuffer(vertexLocation, GL_FLOAT, offset, 3, sizeof(QVector3D));

glEnable(GL_PRIMITIVE_RESTART);
glPrimitiveRestartIndex(0xFFFF);

glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, numIndices, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, 0);

}

Which should draw two quads one on top of another. It works in VS, as I said, but in Xcode it gives strange result, like it's not restarting indices correctly , 4th triangle is not even drawn and 3th and 4th triangles are flipped.

Maybe, it's a version of OpenGL that cause troubles - in windows is 4.3, and on Mac is 4.1. I tried including QtOpenGLFunctions_4_1_core.h in Xcode, but that won't even compile - it's gives few BAD ACCESS errors. When I include just QtOpenGLFunctions.h, the result is what I described above.

What can be problem here? Why does QtOpenGLFunctions_4_1_core gives that errors in Xcode?

Ok, I found that glEnable doesn't even enabled GL_PRIMITIVE_RESTART .

Ok, actually I found out that glEnable doesn't work (not just for GL_PRIMITIVE_RESTART, but for all enums). I tried to use glEnable directly in GLWidget class, but it doesn't work. What can be problem?
