Maybe an enumeration or something? >Tom In a certain block I'm registering N ports, where N is a constructor argument to the block. I was hoping I could call them pmt::from_long(0) through pmt::from_long(N-1), but that didn't work. I ended up creating string names "out0" through "outK" (where K = N-1) and then used pmt::string_to_symbol.
