c++ - Why can I have an OpenGL shader class, but not a VAO class?

Question

I have been fiddling around with making a game/rendering engine, and I have found that I can have a class for a shader object, but if I wrap a VAO in a class, it won't render.

The shaders return no errors, and the VAO and shaders are valid OpenGL objects.

UPDATE

The problem is this line:

glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(arrFVertex), arrFVertex, GL_STATIC_DRAW);

As @BDL suggested in the comments, I thought about it and I realized, it should be:

glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(GLfloat) * intNumVertex * 3, arrFVertex, GL_STATIC_DRAW);

Answer 1

The problem has nothing to do with the VAO, but with the VBO. Since you pass a pointer to the constructor:

void GSMesh::build(GLfloat *arrFVertex, GSShader *shader, int _intNumVertex)
{
    glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(arrFVertex), arrFVertex, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
}

sizeof(arrFVertex) = sizeof(GLfloat*) which is the size of the pointer, not the size of the array pointed to. The correct code will look like this:

glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER,
             sizeof(GLfloat) * _intNumVertex * 3, arrFVertex,
             GL_STATIC_DRAW);

In general I have to add, that this is not the way how questions should be asked on SO. It would have been good if you would have included at least the relevant parts of the code in your question.
