Re: [liblo] how to connect to a liblo TCP OSC server?

Hello Mark, thanks for replying.

So I can simply access the fields of the "argv" union, based upon the
value of "type". Excellent.

I looked at lo_osc_types.h as a reference.
It seems to me, that some types may have more than one corresponding
field. How to choose?

Example 1:
I have type = LO_STRING, which is 's'
Should I read &argv[n]->S or &argv[n]->s ?

Example 2:
I have type = LO_INT32, which is 'i'
Should I read argv[n]->i or argv[n]->i32 ?

Same goes for 'f' (read from ->f or ->f32 ?)

Thanks for the clarification

Fernando
