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

[Peter TB Brett <700448@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The branch sounds like an excellent idea.

For separating the patches, why not just make the Scheme API code pass a
NULL GError in the main patch, since that's a simple and obviously
correct one-line change that keeps the current behaviour? In a
subsequent patch, you could then pass a non-NULL pointer, check the
error condition, and do the other API updates.

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
