PMTs with Flatbuffers and Modern C++ - GNU Radio Conference 2021

Explore a conference talk from GNU Radio Conference 2021 that delves into rewriting the Polymorphic Types (PMTs) interface in GNURadio using flatbuffers and modern C++. Learn about the challenges with the current PMT API and how the proposed changes aim to improve consistency and ease of use for both new and experienced developers. Discover the benefits of using flatbuffers, a Google-maintained serialization library, for efficient data transfer and compile-time type validation. Understand how leveraging modern C++ features can simplify the PMT API, making it more intuitive and aligned with Standard Template Library (STL) containers. Gain insights into how these improvements can enhance block integration and reduce code complexity when working with PMTs in GNURadio projects.
