Re: Vector Sink/Source Type Support

[Jeff Long]

We don't seem to have any blocks in-tree that support either of these types, so it wouldn't be of general use and would be hard to test with CI. My opinion is that this is something to look into for GR4.0, unless there is some demand for more precision in 3.X.

Hello,

We have a few gnuradio blocks in an OOT module that require double precision inputs and outputs. To help us test these blocks we created our own vector sink/source blocks that are direct copies of the gnuradio vector sink/source but with added support for doubles.

This works well, but I was wondering if there is a reason that vector sink/source don't support double, std::int64_t and gr_complexd types, or whether this is something that might be useful for me to create a pull request for? These blocks are already templated (source: https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/blob/main/gr-blocks/lib/vector_sink_impl.cc), so it should be easy enough to add support for more types.

Thank you,
David
