Querying GL_MAX_VARYING_FLOATS is "unacceptable value" on NVidia GTX 1080

Gaming and Visualization Technologies APIs OpenGL

Hello,

calling this on an NVidia GeForce GTX 1080

GLint result;
glGetIntegerv(GL_MAX_VARYING_FLOATS, &result);

results in error code

An unacceptable value is specified for an enumerated argument. The offending command is ignored and has no other side effect than to set the error flag. (Code: 1280)

when checking with glGetError()! I am using OpenGL 3.2 Core Profile context.

Why do I get this error? Checked with an AMD Radeon card and no error is reported.

Help is really appreciated!

Problem already solved! Thread can be closed.

Got the hint from somebody to remove the flag for forward-compatible context. That solved the problem and in general is not recommended to be used anyway.

Appendix E.2.1 of the OpenGL 3.2 specification says:

E.2.1 Deprecated But Still Supported Features

The following features are deprecated, but still present in the core profile. They may be removed from a future version of OpenGL, and are removed in a forward-compatible context implementing the core profile.

* Wide lines - LineWidth values greater than 1.0 will generate an INVALID_VALUE error.

* Global component limit query - the implementation-dependent values MAX_VARYING_COMPONENTS and MAX_VARYING_FLOATS.
