Hi Community,

I'm working with blob manager to implement our design. The block diagram in
GRExtras looks similar to this:

BLOCK 1 --> BLOCK 2 --> BLOCK 3 --> SINK

Where, Block 1 contains the manager as follows:

MsgBlobManager = pmt::pmt_mgr::make();
      for (size_t i = 0; i < MSG_BLOBS_ALLOCATION; i++)
          {

MsgBlobManager->set(pmt::pmt_make_blob(BLOB_MSG_INITIAL_SIZE));
          }


However, when I made some changes in the blob that is passing around in
BLOCK 2 (only 1 field of the blob), in BLOCK 3 I received the old data from
BLOCK 1. This happens exactly 3 times until BLOCK 3 received the correct
updated data.

I'm not sure if it is related due to previous blocks are keeping a
reference to the incoming message (as explained in
https://github.com/guruofquality/grextras/wiki#wiki-pmt-manager-object).
What I do not know either is the following:

"Normally, a PMT is created and passed to a downstream consumer. When all
downstream consumers delete their references to the PMT, the object is
deconstructed and freed back into nothingness"

1. How the downstream consumer delete their reference to a PMT object?
2. Is it automatically done or should I explicitly do this?

Thanks for your time and advice,

Regards,

Jose.
