Maybe SDL has a bug then because glGetString should never crash.
glGetString is not an SDL function, but an OpenGL framework version.
When are the land Load_GL_VERSION_XXX functions meant to be called in the pipeline? I was calling them before the openGL context is created (which works except for 3.x on the old MacBook) but I just tried calling Load_GL_VERSION_3_0 after the context was created and I got some random errors from OpenGL functions (Load_GL_VERSION_2_1 in a legacy context did work however).
It's invalid to call glGetString before a context has been created, since it returns information about the context: https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/OpenGL_Context#Context_information_queries (or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6288759/why-could-glgetstringgl-version-be-causing-a-seg-fault )
My guess is that the Load_GL_VERSION_3_3x() function is broken since it appears to call glGetString before a context has been created, and that it just happens to work on some (most?) implementations by pure chance.
