            <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glLinkProgram</refentrytitle></citerefentry> must have been called in the past, although it is not required that
            <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glLinkProgram</refentrytitle></citerefentry> must have succeeded. The link could have failed because the number
            of active uniforms exceeded the limit.
