agreed. Using (error "errorstring") in the scheme code you can make gnetlist error out with a non-zero error code, but I'm not sure how to signal to gnetlist that there are warnings and it should return that. What do you think of having a command line option which prevents warnings from giving an error code? > Using your makefile, you will only run the spice backend if there are no > errors.
