[Discuss-gnuradio] Pmt value as an integer

[Jose Torres]

Hi All, 

I'm wondering if there is an easy way to use a pmt_t value as a normal integer 
value. What happen is I'm receiving the value from a message as follows:

Pmt::pmt_t value=pmt_dict_ref(_msg.value, pmt::pmt_symbol("index"),PMT_NIL);

So, from my incoming message I'm able to get the value related to "index". 
However, I need to plug this value as an integer later in my code, but I'm not 
sure how to do it. 

I know I can do the other way around, ie. get a pmt from long (pmt_from_long).

Thanks for your help, 

Jose
