Hi list,
I have a question regarding the shutdown procedures of c++- flow- graphs
(using trunk r10527, ubuntu 8.10). As far as I have understood a flow-
graph will continue until one of the blocks in it either returns -1, or
ctrl+c is pressed.
However, if I connect a gr_file_source(sizeof(short),
"./data_to_usrp.dat", true) with a usrp_sink_s in a gr_top_block and do
top_block->start() the flow- graph exits as if the repeat- flag in
gr_file_source wasn't set to true.
If I on the other hand use (the same configuration) top_block->start()
the flow- graph continues until ctrl+c is pressed, but the destructor of
top-block isn't run, which I verified with a printf in it.
t't
If I install a signal handler which catches ctrl+c and sets a flag, and
then use (still the same configuration) uses something like:
top_block->start();
while(!signaled)
asm(" nop");
top_block->stop();
The flow- graph is run as long as ctrl+c isn't pressed and the
destructor of top_block is run as well.
Why is the destructor so important? It's important because if I don't
add the two following statements in there:
d_tx0->write_io (d_side, -129, 224);
d_tx0->write_io (d_side, -129, 128);
(where d_tx0 is a usrp_sink_s_sptr)
I end up with a pike in the spectrum at the tuned center frequency.
I have basically worked my way from the c++ dial- tone example, which
imo. is illustrative.
I guess my question is how do I shut down a usrp1 correctly from c++?
Best regards
