profiler hiccups

every now and then I get messages like "Can't push marker <orxFXPointer_Update> [ID: -102486383] as it's already currently pushed.
It's not only the orxFXPointer_Update but also for example the orxAnimPointer_Update.

This mesage is followed by a lot of "Skipping marker pop.".

All the messages will cause hiccups in the game.

So first of all: Any idea, what the cause could be?
secondly: can I turn the profiler off somehow?

    ok I found where to disable it.
    hint for others: there is a define called __orxPROFILER__ inside orxProfile.h. Although it's only active in debug builds anyway.

    that said it would probably still be intersting to find out where those messages come from.

    Yes, definitely. Probably mismatched push/pop markers. I'll look into it tonight. And you found how to deactivate the profiler in debug, so you should be ok. :)

    Couldn't find any obvious mismatch, and actually it looks hard to see how they could mismatch at all. Probably a bug in the push/pop functions themselves then.
    I couldn't repro it though. :/ Would you happen to have a project/example I could try on my side?

    sadly I can't provide you with the sources of the game that has this problem.

    is there something I could do helping to resolve this?

    Ah no worries. If it can help you, I don't mind signing NDAs.

    Otherwise I'm afraid you'll have to trace the push/pop calls by yourself so as to spot the problem. :) Let me know if you find something!
