Hey im trying to load OpenGL funciton pointers from scratch
Here im setting up the old OpenGL context, that can only call gl-functions from version 1.1 ( I think?)
After that i try to load a function pointer to get glUseProgram:
Howevever if i call
i get
What i want is the error to say something more in style of this:
How could i achieve this?
I mean i want the actuall function name to be called in errors, not the "function pointer declaration type" if that makes sence.
thanks.

Howevever if i call

i get
1 | error C2198: 'PFNGLUSEPROGRAMPROC (__cdecl *)': too few arguments for call |
What i want is the error to say something more in style of this:

How could i achieve this?

Reason: Initial post
glUseProgram in the code is a variable (containing a function pointer). So it doesn't have parameter and the compiler gives you the name corresponding to the function type as it's the relevant information.
If you are OK with changing the function declaration names you could change the code to something like:
The error message should be easier to read.
