Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] inefficient large vectors

[Miklos Maroti]

Hi Martin, Yes, I know of stream tags, but it would just make the
blocks complicated: now I can rely on the fact that data is coming in
a multiple of the vector length. For now, padding solves my immediate
needs, but it is not an ideal solution. Miklos
