Good to know.

So far, I have added the following line in the constructor of my custom block:
std::cout << max_output_buffer(0) << std::endl;
which returns -1. Does it mean some
default value? If so, what is that value? Also, what is the range of value for 'size' in set_max_output_buffer(size)?

My flowgraph is the following:
uhd usrp source -> LPF -> my custom block -> uhd usrp sink
So essentially, there is no other block between my custom block and uhd usrp sink.
I have another question for you. I have now split the above flowgraph into two separate flowgraphs as following:
uhd usrp source -> LPF -> my custom block_1
my custom block 2 -> uhd usrp sink
where I have divided the functionality of my original custom block into custom block 1 and custom block 2. Now, when I relay the information from custom block 1 to custom block 2 by means of function probe, I get the error message AttributeError: 'gr_top_block_sptr' object has no attribute 'my_custom_block_1_0' which is expected (because the two flowgraphs are separate and independent). How can I pass the info from custom block 1 to custom block 2 in this case?
Thanks,
Yu.
