Description

this line https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/blob/master/libs/openFrameworks/gl/ofGLRenderer.cpp#L115
will never get compiled as it is inside an #ifdef TARGET_OPENGLES which is already surrounded by a #ifndef TARGET_OPENGLES
This same line is correctly implemented further down inside the correct preprocessor block.
here https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/blob/master/libs/openFrameworks/gl/ofGLRenderer.cpp#L181
So just deleting the problematic line should make no harm.
all the best!

Research direction

Open libs/openFrameworks/gl/ofGLRenderer.cpp around lines 115 and 181, and compare the surrounding preprocessor blocks. Remove the unreachable line identified near line 115 while preserving the corresponding implementation in the later block. Confirm the file still compiles for the relevant renderer targets.
