Detailed Description

Convert a stream of unpacked bytes or shorts into a stream of packed bytes or shorts.

input: stream of short; output: stream of short.

This is the inverse of gr_packed_to_unpacked_XX.

The low bits_per_chunk bits are extracted from each input byte or short. These bits are then packed densely into the output bytes or shorts, such that all 8 or 16 bits of the output bytes or shorts are filled with valid input bits. The right thing is done if bits_per_chunk is not a power of two.

The combination of gr_packed_to_unpacked_XX followed by gr_chunks_to_symbols_Xf or gr_chunks_to_symbols_Xc handles the general case of mapping from a stream of bytes or shorts into arbitrary float or complex symbols.

Member Function Documentation

bool gr_unpacked_to_packed_ss::check_topology ( int  ninputs,
int  noutputs 
)
inlinevirtual

Confirm that ninputs and noutputs is an acceptable combination.

Parameters:
ninputsnumber of input streams connected
noutputsnumber of output streams connected
Returns:
true if this is a valid configuration for this block.

This function is called by the runtime system whenever the topology changes. Most classes do not need to override this. This check is in addition to the constraints specified by the input and output gr_io_signatures.

Reimplemented from gr_basic_block.

void gr_unpacked_to_packed_ss::forecast ( int  noutput_items,
gr_vector_int ninput_items_required 
)
virtual

Estimate input requirements given output request.

Parameters:
noutput_itemsnumber of output items to produce
ninput_items_requirednumber of input items required on each input stream

Given a request to product noutput_items, estimate the number of data items required on each input stream. The estimate doesn't have to be exact, but should be close.

Reimplemented from gr_block.

int gr_unpacked_to_packed_ss::general_work ( int  noutput_items,
gr_vector_int ninput_items,
gr_vector_const_void_star input_items,
gr_vector_void_star output_items 
)
virtual

compute output items from input items

Parameters:
noutput_itemsnumber of output items to write on each output stream
ninput_itemsnumber of input items available on each input stream
input_itemsvector of pointers to the input items, one entry per input stream
output_itemsvector of pointers to the output items, one entry per output stream
Returns:
number of items actually written to each output stream, or -1 on EOF. It is OK to return a value less than noutput_items. -1 <= return value <= noutput_items

general_work must call consume or consume_each to indicate how many items were consumed on each input stream.

Implements gr_block.
