gEDA-user: [PATCH 1/2] gnetlist: Add access to all attributes from components with multiple symbol instances.

2011-01-03 Thread Patrick Bernaud
This commit introduces 'gnetlist:get-all-package-attributes' to retrieve every first attribute value for package consisting of multiple symbol instances. 'gnetlist:get-package-attribute' gets redefined to use the above procedure. To preserve backward compatibility, it returns the first value

gEDA-user: [PATCH 2/2] gnetlist: Silence warning in drc2 backend for multiple slot attributes.

2011-01-03 Thread Patrick Bernaud
Slot attributes have different values across symbol instances of a same package. But 'gnetlist:get-package-attribute' does not like that. So the value has to get directly extracted from the list returned by 'gnetlist:get-all-package-attributes'. --- gnetlist/scheme/gnet-drc2.scm |4 +++- 1

Adding the NoConnection DRC attribute to a net causes the drc2 backend to ignore it when checking for unconnected nets. However, drc2 currently doesn't enforce that the net is actually unconnected. It's possible to mark two pins as NoConnection and then accidentally wire them together. This
