Does you block take the packet length as a parameter (vs. reading from metadata)? I think this is a block which should exist in the GR baseline, if your implementation is general enough.

The whole point of that is that you can send a message that would (logically) change something in the operation of the block, and it will never interfere with the operation of work – thread-safety! (imagine, for example, you changed the number of taps of a FIR filter right in the middle of that filter's operation – that would definitely lead to some unexpected results).

I used a source block template with zero stream inputs, one message input, and one stream output. I have implemented a message handler and I can see my messages are being received. I need to pass data from the PDU message handler to work(). I looked at the code for PDU_to_tagged_stream and it appears that they use a private member (d_curr_len) to communicate from the message handler to work - which implies that the message handler and work are on the same thread. Is this correct? i.e. can I use a plain FIFO queue from message handler to work, or do I need a thread safe queue?
