QOpenGLTexture::allocateStorage causes GL_INVALID_VALUE error

[Stefan Monov76]

Posting in this subforum as I think the error is not caused by my usage of Qt Quick.

I've distilled this to trivial Qt code in which the only interesting thing is several lines in synchronize() handling a texture. I get a GL_INVALID_VALUE from the allocateStorage line. Anyone knows why? I suspect it's probably due to the parameters I pass to this function.

My code:

main.cpp:

#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QQmlApplicationEngine>
#include <QQuickFramebufferObject>
#include <QOpenGLFramebufferObject>
#include <QOpenGLFunctions>
#include <QOpenGLTexture>

class MyItem : public QQuickFramebufferObject {
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    Renderer* createRenderer() const;
};

class MyItemRenderer : public QQuickFramebufferObject::Renderer, protected QOpenGLFunctions {
public:
    MyItemRenderer() {
        initializeOpenGLFunctions();
    }

    void render() {
    }

    QOpenGLFramebufferObject* createFramebufferObject(const QSize &size) {
        QOpenGLFramebufferObjectFormat format;
        format.setAttachment(QOpenGLFramebufferObject::CombinedDepthStencil);
        return new QOpenGLFramebufferObject(size, format);
    }

protected:
    void synchronize(QQuickFramebufferObject* qqfbo) {
        Q_UNUSED(qqfbo)

        QOpenGLTexture tex(QOpenGLTexture::Target2D);
        tex.setSize(100, 100);
        tex.allocateStorage(QOpenGLTexture::BGRA, QOpenGLTexture::Int8);

        qDebug() << "starting loop";
        GLenum err;
        while ((err = glGetError()) != GL_NO_ERROR) {
            qDebug("\tgl error: 0x%x", err, 0, 16);
        }
    }
};

QQuickFramebufferObject::Renderer* MyItem::createRenderer() const {
    return new MyItemRenderer();
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);

    qmlRegisterType<MyItem>("MyItem", 1, 0, "MyItem");

    QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
    engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));

    return app.exec();
}

#include "main.moc"

main.qml

import QtQuick 2.0
import MyItem 1.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.2

Window {
    visible: true
    width: 400
    height: 400

    MyItem {
        anchors.fill: parent
    }
}
