Dear Marcus,
Thanks. This solves the problem completely.
In summary, to stop the flowgraph when the source is empty, we need to:
1). The source block's work() method returns "WORK_DONE" ( which is -1 )
2). The sink block's work() method returns "noutput_items"
Additional Questions:
1). In general, shouldn't a sink block's work() method always return 0
instead of "noutput_items"?
(Sink block doesn't produce any output, isn't the number of output
produced is zero?)
2). In practical cases, under what circumstances we should let the source
block's work() method return 0?
When it returns 0, the sceduler will still continue to call the source
block's work() method repeatly.
3). Under what scenario we will need to use the stop() method ?
(In python script we see stop() method quit often, but it seems never
needed in c++ code)
Thanks.

Note:
This flow graph doesn't involve any message passing at all.
