gEDA-bug: [Bug 700448] Re: Poor reporting of schematic load errors

[Eivind Kvedalen <700448@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch probably needs even more work. I have therefore set up a
clone at github, where I have created a branch (bug-700448-load-error)
for this fix (and others I'm working on, they're just not there yet).
You can find it at git://github.com/eivindkv/geda-gaf.git . I've tried
to implement your requests above in that branch now.

Regarding splitting this up into two patches, I can agree, but it is
technically difficult to do: the o_read_buffer function has an extra
parameter now for the error, and the string_to_page function uses that,
so the first patch will not compile if the scheme changes are in another
separate patch.

Title:
  Poor reporting of schematic load errors

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  libgeda doesn't signal an error when a schematic or symbol file
  contains invalid syntax, or when any other load error is encountered.

  For example, gnetlist succeeds even when the input schematics
  specified contain unusable garbage.

  Steps to reproduce:

  ÂÂecho GARBAGE > test.sch;
  ÂÂif gnetlist -ggeda test.sch > /dev/null 2>/dev/null
  ÂÂthen
  ÂÂÂÂecho Succeeded
  ÂÂelse
  ÂÂÂÂecho Failed
  ÂÂfi

  Expected output:

  ÂÂFailed

  Actual output:

  ÂÂSucceeded

  Thanks to Peter Clifton for pointing out this problem.
