Detailed Description

Single writer, multiple reader fifo.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~buffer()

gr::buffer::~buffer ( )
override

◆ buffer()

gr::buffer::buffer ( buffer_mapping_type  buftype,
int  nitems,
size_t  sizeof_item,
uint64_t  downstream_lcm_nitems,
uint32_t  downstream_max_out_mult,
block_sptr  link 
)
protected

constructor is private. Use gr_make_buffer to create instances.

Allocate a buffer that holds at least nitems of size sizeof_item.

Parameters
buftypeis an enum type that describes the buffer TODO: fix me
nitemsis the minimum number of items the buffer will hold.
sizeof_itemis the size of an item in bytes.
downstream_lcm_nitemsis the least common multiple of the items to read by downstream block(s)
downstream_max_out_multis the maximum output multiple of all downstream blocks
linkis the block that writes to this buffer.

The total size of the buffer will be rounded up to a system dependent boundary. This is typically the system page size, but under MS windows is 64KB.
