The book was written for graphics application developers, game developers, java developers, and students. In its initial state, the new data store is not mapped, it has a null mapped pointer, and its mapped. My only problem with implementing that is that i only know the size of the buffer i need after ive done the expensive process of generating the geometry my rasterizers have oversized buffers, but i cant do it for every vbo. Opengl drivers are usually installed together with the rest of the graphics driver and support software such as directx. You should not use glbufferdata to change the size of an existing nonimmutable buffer.

In the previous section, we mentioned that gles2 requires precision hints. I am getting a null pointer as entry point for these routines on linking in dlls.
However, the parameters in glbufferdata differ as shown in line 3. If leaving out glbufferdata works the same, then either no buffer is bound, or there is a glbufferdata call earlier in the program. Lots of vram will help performance, but the opengl driver is always free to allocate memory as it sees fit, and move it around as needed.
