Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Code Reuse Question

If we wanted that behavior, could we do something similar to what gating blocks do (like the power squelch), where we pass X number of items through and after that only consume items without ever producing anything. Is there an efficiency problem with this technique?

Yep, having had a walk over this: if we didn't want to have this behaviour, we'd need to have some buffer_writer specific done_policy or so, where we tell the block it should shut down based on whether all or just any one of its buffer readers signaled WORK_DONE.
We don't have that, so this is the only way to shut down a graph tree from a non-source block.

Yeah, I've been actually scratching my head on whether that is
intentional or not – if we don't have that behaviour, there's no chance
that a leaf in a non-path tree-shaped flow graph can stop the flow
graph, is there?

Definitely intentional and the way it's worked since the beginning.
