Thanks a lot for the detailed report, I'll look into each of those.

The LCC_3 demo is known to be broken, there is an ongoing fix. I'll come to you again soon, with new updates.

Yes, thank you very much for your work! I have been testing this morning all the modified examples and demos to be sure everything works fine. In general, they seem to work correctly, however I have some comments for the demos:

1. Regarding the AABB_tree demo, it works fine but the points are displayed very very small (just a pixel), so that they can hardly be seen (and I don't know a way to increase their size inside the demo; in other demos, the default point size is bigger and they can be clearly seen at first).

2. Although I believe that they work correctly, the demos "periodic_3_triangulation_3_demo", "Periodic_Lloyd_3", "T3_demo" and "PCA_demo" still show the messages

GL 4.3 context initialization failed. 

Using context  2 . 1 GL

and

QOpenGLVertexArrayObject::destroy() failed to restore current context 

when closing the window.

3. The demos "Alpha_shape_3" and "Circular_kernel_3"  (display correctly the 4.1 context but) when closing the window still show the message:

QOpenGLVertexArrayObject::destroy() failed to restore current context

4. The worst thing happens when initializing the "Linear_cell_complex_3_demo". It shows the message

zsh: segmentation fault  ./Linear_cell_complex_3_demo

and it does not work (I don't know if this has to do with the new PR since I have never run this demo before). See attached the problem report.

Best wishes and thank you very much again! :)

Ok, I think I just fixed it.

Hi Maxime,

I tested one of the examples and now it works perfectly. Unfortunately, I tried the AABB_tree demo and it does not work yet, I get:

Using context  4 . 1 GL

Hi, 

I updated my PR with a generalization of my fix to all demos, I hope it works now.

Thank you very much, Maxime! I've tested it and now the points and edges are perfectly displayed in the examples!

I don't know if it's important, but just let you know that when the Basic Viewer window is closed, the following line is still shown:

    QOpenGLVertexArrayObject::destroy() failed to restore current context

In addition, there may be some demos in which the 4.1 context still does not work... In particular, I tried the AABB_tree demo.

Best wishes,

David

I made a PR to fix your specific issue : https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/pull/5336

If you don't want to wait for the next release, you can clone the branch and use it, it is based on CGAL-5.1

Sorry, Sebastien, it was for CGAL version 5.1.1.

I downgraded because for the latest version, 5.2, I got an error message like the following when trying to compile the Polyhedron demo:

[  3%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/demo_framework.dir/Viewer.cpp.o

/Users/drochera/Downloads/CGAL-David/Polyhedron/Viewer.cpp:1133:31: error:

    void draw(CGAL::Three::Viewer_interface* viewer, const QVector3D &scaler);

    ^

1 error generated.

make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/demo_framework.dir/Viewer.cpp.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/demo_framework.dir/all] Error 2

make: *** [all] Error 2

But this might be another different bug... (for the CGAL version 5.1.1 this error does not appear).

Best wishes.
