Why does using a program cause my shape to disappear? - c++

Question

The following code draws a white square to the screen. If I uncomment the line that uses the program, the square disappears.
When I debug the program with GLIntercept, the texture appears in a folder called Images, and the log says that the shaders compiled. However, it also says that the program links, but doesn't validate.
I've been poring over this for hours and I have no idea where to go from here.

Answer 1

It was a combination of two things.
When I last used this code, it was with GLM 0.9.7.6, and mat4() generated an identity matrix. However, at some point between that version of GLM and the one I'm currently using (0.9.9.5), mat4() started generating an empty matrix. Instead, you need mat4(1.0f).
Also, I used bad values for the near and far planes. I did think that the values I had would work, but clearly I don't quite understand what's going on behind the scenes.
