Description

I'm not sure why but when I use a pointer rather than an object to get the next message I get a CPU spike. I'm on commit 7bf5c5eeb29fcf3

this is my code which I note is the same as the example in ofBook

//in update
while (receiver.hasWaitingMessages()) {
ofxOscMessage m;
if(receiver.getNextMessage(&m)){ /do blah/}
}

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start at ofxOscReceiver::getNextMessage and compare the pointer-based call described in the title with the update-loop example; reproduce the CPU spike on commit 7bf5c5eeb29fcf3. Done means identifying the cause and verifying that receiving messages no longer causes the spike.
