gEDA-bug: [Bug 700448] Re: gnetlist succeeds with garbage schematics

[Peter TB Brett <700448@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This turns out to be a problem with libgeda -- the file loading API
doesn't signal an error. o_read_buffer() needs to be improved to be able
to indicate that parsing input failed.

Title:
  gnetlist succeeds with garbage schematics

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  New

Bug description:
   affects geda
 tag gnetlist
 done

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

Steps to reproduce:

  echo GARBAGE > test.sch;
  if gnetlist -ggeda test.sch > /dev/null 2>/dev/null
  then
    echo Succeeded
  else
    echo Failed
  fi

Expected output: 

  Failed

Actual output:

  Succeeded

Thanks to Peter Clifton for pointing out this problem.
