Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] gnuradio c++ code structure question

[Martin Braun]

Hi Mehmet,

you've omitted some crucial parts of your code.
I'm guessing you've made your block a gr_sync_block.

It's easiest if your input items are vectors. In that case, your input
buffer (input_items) will contain noutput_items * 2048 float values.
Then, just process your data on whole blocks.

The operation you describe seems pretty simple. You can probably set it
up with a couple of existing blocks without having to write any code at
all, although your method is surely more efficient (in terms of CPU
load, not development time).
