Hey everyone, If you don’t track our check-ins closely, you might have missed a fairly large change to the code yesterday. We pushed a new component called gr-filter that consolidates all of the filter blocks and related code into one top-level component. If you are working off master, all of the current filter functions still exist in the gr namespace, but we’re working to move to the new filter namespace in preparation for version 3.7. Part of this move was to convert all of the hand-coded assembly over to using VOLK. This is designed to make adding SIMD code to filters much easier in the future, but we could still see a few bumps. I’ve already seen some machines machines fail QA, so we’re working to fix those, but I’d appreciate more reports from various architectures. So if you run ‘make test’ after getting the most recent master branch and you see any test failures, let me know. If you get failures, the first thing to do is run “volk\_profile”. This is a program that is installed into $prefix/bin that will test all Volk kernels and select the fastest version for your machine. Rerun ‘make test’ and let me know if this fixes any problems. If you still have problems, please send me the unit test output files found at $builddir/gr-filter/lib/.unittests/gr\_filter.xml and $builddir/gr-filter/python/unittests/python/tests\_\*.xml. That should help me get an understanding for what’s going wrong. Thanks! Tom ---
