Marcus, Thanks for your reply. What will the shared pointer be called. I see stuff like this in the code:
GR_SWIG_BLOCK_MAGIC2(uhd, usrp_source) GR_SWIG_BLOCK_MAGIC2(uhd, usrp_sink) GR_SWIG_BLOCK_MAGIC2(uhd, amsg_source) Presumably, that generates a structure that is registered as a global pointer. So in my mac, I want something like extern .... At the risk of asking for too much help, can you give me some guidance or point me to a fragment of code somewhere that does this sort of thing.
