I needed to test some gnuradio blocks a while ago in C++ (under windows, before 
the windows port was working)
What I did then was even more crude then you suggest.
I just allocated buffers and didn't create any flow-graph.
I just called the (general_)work method of the blocks myself in a loop, using 
the output buffer from one block as an input to the next and
keeping track of the pointers.

Of course you miss a lot of the nice features this way, but it is a quick way 
to test blocks in a C++ framework.
