Forum: GNU Radio Pmt value as an integer

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
