This line:

FILE *file = fopen(FILENAME, "rb");
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Should be

FILE *file = fopen(filePath, "rb");
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

this returns null for me.
filePath ends up being "shaders/dx11/vs_cubes.binýýýý"
hard coding this to "shaders/dx11/vs_cubes.bin" results in no change despite the file being present...

Any idea why?

Because he uses memcpy, a null terminator never gets written to the end of the string. You need to allocate with "char* filePath = (char*)calloc(1, shaderLen + fileLen + 1);", then there will be a zero at the end of the string

I should have read this. I took me a good 10 minutes to figure out why I was segfaulting
