gEDA-bug: [Bug 705397] Re: Unnecessary warning: Found a zero length pin:

[Peter TB Brett <705397@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Huh, that's weird.  That's probably *technically* a bug in the printing
code.

Having hashed this over with a user group yesterday, I've changed my
mind about the pin endings -- unconnected pin ends probably *should* be
rendered like unconnected net ends.

However, it is still useful for pins that have length to continue to
have directionality when using e.g. magnetic net mode.   I suppose that
it would be enough just to ensure that zero-length pins are equally
attractive in every direction.

Title:
  Unnecessary warning: Found a zero length pin:

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  On start-up, gschem issues a warning if pins with zero length are found. E.g:
      Found a zero length pin: [ P 100 100 100 100 1 0 0]

  There is no reason to issue a warning. gnetlist does not care for the
  length of the pins. They are no problem in the GUI, either. When not
  connected, they are visible, by the red mark.

  Proposed solution:
  Remove the check for zero length pins on start-up.
