Let's think about the following auto/cross correlator:

I've placed `divide` because I need to normalize the correlation result.
If we place `null source`, or `constant source with value of zero` right
before the `pad source`, the simplified form of the correlator becomes 0
divided by 0.
I've placed `time sink` right after the `pad sink` then, I can see the
line hit the infinity. With a simplified flow graph:

Back to the my correlator, how can I handle such `infinity` value coming
into the next block?
My guess is that if a source block is a type of float, then `infinity`
might have a maximum value of float. So, I think I can reject `infinity`
value with `if (in[i] > threshold)`, where `threshold` is big enough,
for correlator it is fine to have a value just larger than one.
Do you think what I guess is right? Or can some boost numeric types, or
PMT help somehow to deal with it?
In addition, not important.
In pages http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/numeric_limits/infinity
and http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/math/INFINITY,
non floating point numeric types can't handle infinity.
Is it also applied to GNU Radio?
