## Detailed Description

Chop the input data stream according to the flags in the input control stream.

When flag is detected in the control stream, the chopper start to chop. The chopper outputs a copy of length_out items from the input stream to the output stream per chop.
The chopper consumes length_in items from the input and control streams.
Typically the flags are periodic and length_out>=length_in. Therefore, there exist three cases.
Case 1: period <= length_in <= length_out
For example, with length_in=4, length_out=5, period=3, the input and output streams will look like
input:--—>abcdefghijklmn...
flags:--—>10010010010010... (period=3)
outputs:-->abcdeghijkmn...
Case 2: length_in <= period <= length_out
For example, with length_in=4, length_out=6, period=5, the input and output streams will look like
input:--—>abcdefghijklmn...
flags:--—>100001000010000... (period=5)
outputs:-->abcdeffghijkklmnop...
Case 3: length_in <=length_out <= period
For example, with length_in=4, length_out=6, period=7, the input and output streams will look like
input:--—>abcdefghijklmnopqrst...
flags:--—>100000010000001000000...(periold=7)
outputs:-->abcdefhijklmonqrst...

static

Return a shared_ptr to a new instance of cdma::chopper.

To avoid accidental use of raw pointers, cdma::chopper's constructor is in a private implementation class. cdma::chopper::make is the public interface for creating new instances.

Parameters

  vector_length | size of input item in data stream
  length_in | number of items chopper consumes per chop.
  length_out | number of items chopper outputs per chop. Typically length out>=length in.
