Hello!
No, no such tool exists.
There's to hearts beating in my breast regarding your question:
On one hand, I want GNU Radio to be as usable for any user out there.
On the other hand, if you really frequently find yourself in the
situation that you just slightly change the behaviour of an existing
GNU Radio block, you should *really* make that change in GNU Radio
and
contribute the code, so that all users benefit from it.
So, I think there's convincing arguments for a project to not foster
a
workflow where fragmentation of the codebase is accelerated, and
thus,
I'm afraid it's rather unlikely that there will be such a tool in the
foreseeable future.
What I, and we, as a project, can offer, however, is the utmost
support
at getting your modifications into mainline GNU Radio really fast.
Just
ask us!
Best regards,
Marcus

Dear GNURadio users,
Most of the time, when working on my own GNURadio project, I need to
add some minor modifications on already existing GNURadio blocks
(add a
function in the c++/python file for instance or add a new parameter
in
the xml file). Since I do not want to modify the original code, what
I
do is to create a new block in my own project using the gr_modtool.
Then
I copy/paste the code from original files (c++, xml, ...) replacing
all
the function names, with the appropriate imports. Finally, I add my
own
modifications.
The copy/paste phase may be really boring especially when blocks
depend
on other blocks.
So, my question is: Does it exists a tool (like gr_modtool) to clone
an
already existing block and the corresponding source code? Otherwise,
I
would appreciate to have a command like $clone original_block_name
new_block_name$ which would duplicate the original_block_name code
into
the new_block_name, with all the appropriate function names and
imports.
Best,
NAVES Raphaël
