[Discuss-gnuradio] gr_block::set_history()

[cjpatton]

I have a general work function for which I will use GNU Radio's history
functionality. In the block's constructor, I call set_history( m ). I cast
the input buffer in the standard way:

  const float *in = (const float *) input_items[0];

My question is wheere in[0] refers to in the buffer. It would make sense to
me that noutput_items is the number of new items for the block to consume
and ninput_items[0] refers to the total number of data in the buffer. So,
in[noutput_items-1] is the last element of the array, in[0] is the start of
the new items, and the in[-m] refers to the beginning of the history block.
Thus, ninput_items[0] is greater than or equal to m + noutput_items.

I don't know if this assumption is true and would be pleased if someone knew
how this works. The GNU Radio API is somewhat vague in this respect. Thanks
in advance!
