Hierarchical blocks (arbitrary or variable numbers of inputs or outputs not supported)

GNU Radio

Hello,

I am trying to create a hierarchical block with a variable number of
outputs, but I get this error:
“RuntimeError: Hierarchical blocks do not yet support arbitrary or
variable numbers of inputs or outputs”

This appears to be a known issue [1], and I’m wondering what the best
work around is. I think I can simply create an IO Signature with the
maximum possible outputs I will need, and then connect a null source to
all of the outputs I’m not intending to use. Is that a good idea?

Thanks,
Orin

Orin,
Yep, that’s the best way to handle this case.
