+     * get_num_input_ports(), etc. This can be overridden, but keep in mind that
+     * blocks need some kind of tolerance here, because blocks may simply not
+     * be part of the current application, and left unconnected. This check is
+     * more meant for blocks that simply don't work of only one of two ports is
+     * connected, or situations like that.
+     *
+     * Note that this method is always called when a graph is committed, i.e.,
+     * no connections will be added or removed without calling this method
+     * again, unless the user bypasses calling uhd::rfnoc_graph::commit(). This
+     * method can therefore be used to make decisions about the behaviour of
+     * the block.
