I am not familiar with GLFW except I remembered answering a query in this community for one with an Ubuntu host with Workstation 12.x. The problem was not a crash of the VMware VM graphics driver though.
Try adding the following lines in red and see whether it still results in a crash or not.
glfwInit()
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
glfwCreateWindow(1, 1, "Test", NULL, NULL);
If the additional lines of code still results in a crash, you could try to switch the graphics framework that Fusion uses.
Starting with Fusion 10.x, the default rendering framework Fusion uses is Metal when 3D acceleration is enabled for a VM. You could also try switching back to OpenGL by adding the following lines to the vmx configuration. Shut down the VM first though before editing the vmx configuration file.
mks.enableMTLRenderer = "FALSE"
mks.enableGLRenderer = "TRUE"
You could also make sure that the graphics adapter being used on the Apple host is a discrete graphics (assuming it has one). The Intel OpenGL graphics driver might be buggy (at least on a Windows host it appears to be).
