Tested on 32-bit Firefox browser on 64-bit Windows 8: Visit page http://clb.demon.fi/dump/bugs/uniform_arrays_bug.html Expected: should get an orange triangle. Firefox result: a red triangle is rendered instead. The example application tests arrays of uniforms in GLSL shaders. Consider vec3 colors[3]; You should be able to do gl.getUniformLocation(program, "colors[1]"); to get the location of the second index of the array, and then be able to call gl.uniform3fv(loc, [ 0,0.7,0, 0,0,0.3, 1,1,1 ] ); to set the values. Another test case, visit http://clb.demon.fi/dump/bugs/uniform_arrays_bug_emscripten.html : It should print "OK: Case i passed." for i in [0,1,2,3]. Instead, Firefox fails to run cases 2 and 3. Noting that issue https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812164 is about the same kind of issue, but different OS and possibly a narrower test case.

Interesting. I wonder if that is the same bug as whatever is making us fail (apparently, throw an exception) in https://www.khronos.org/registry/webgl/sdk/tests/conformance/uniforms/gl-uniform-arrays.html In any case, flagging this webgl-conformance - please use that flag for all webgl conformance bugs. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/WebGL/Resources#Bug_tracking

Thanks, will do. When running that conformance test URL in Firefox and Chrome, I see the same output, and both browsers report having run the same set of tests (that I could see), give green PASS on all tests, and no FAIL messages, and report green TEST COMPLETE. I do not get an exception being thrown. In web console of Firefox, I do see similar kind of errors than in my testcases, i.e. "Error: WebGL: Uniform3fv: expected an array of length a multiple of 3, got an array of length 10 @ https://www.khronos.org/registry/webgl/sdk/tests/conformance/uniforms/gl-uniform-arrays.html:255".

Rereading with fresh eyes today, I think I wrote the title of the bug a bit silly. In the bug, calling glGetUniformLocation with a nonzero index is not the call that actually fails, but trying to use the location with glUniform*fv is the place where the failure occurs.

(fwiw, many of the errors in the console from the conformance test are expected -- it's testing that INVALID_OPERATION is generated, we just happen to report when that happens as well)

This patch was written by jukka 'over the phone'. It removes a code block for which I do not remember the justification; it makes his testcase work; and it does not regress relevant WebGL 1.0.3 conformance tests. So, r+ from me.

on tryserver: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=f1694d82f913

Refreshed with Jukka's identity and a commit message. Ready for landing once we have green tryserver results.

It is a bit scary that this wasn't caught by any conformance test. Putting webgl-test-needed bug so we don't forget it. Note: bugzilla search links here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/WebGL/Resources#Bug_tracking
