Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Possible typos in a GRCon15 presentation?

[Michael Dickens]

Hi Jeon - It is quite possible that some presentations contain minor typos or even errors. Research/development and presentation of it is imperfect at best. Discussion such as this is the right thing to do! If anyone catches minor typos or errors in any GRCon15 presentation (or, for that matter, a paper relevant to SDR / GR / GRCon), please ping this list and the researcher/developer/presenter so that the info is searchable and might even be fixed in some future paper/presentation. All of the above said, hopefully Tom is reading through these emails & can respond.. Thanks for getting the discussion started! - MLD

In a presentation 'Stream Tags, PDUs, and Message Passing' by Tom Rondeau, it seems some minor typos in pp. 14-18

 

Assuming my knowledge is correct, add_item_tag() should use offset of output buffer, not input buffer. And get_tags_in_*() use offset of input buffer.

 

1. Page 16 is referring nitems_read() for add_item_tag().

2. add_item_tag() slides contain figures of input buffer and get_items_in_*() slides contain figures of output buffer.

Since I've not attended GRCon15 and judge a presentation without any speech nor context, I might just point wrong thing.
