gEDA-bug: [Bug 698741] Re: Problematic attribute place holder values

[clifcox <698741@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Peter,

Turns out that the test input file TwoStageAmp.sch had a ? in it, which of couse caused problems.
Then when it was removed vans's output changed so it had to be fixed, which wasn't a very clever
fix but seems to work, you might want to check it.

This patch should be the only one you need to apply. Please let me know
if there are any problems with it.

    Ciao,
    Clif

Title:
  Problematic attribute place holder values

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In some gnetlist backends the name=? attributes cause problems because they look like
  valid attribute values. eg file=? may be mistaken for a valid filepath, and value=? for 
  an actual value. Changing them to name=unknown is one way to solve this problem in the
  interim. It's now safe to remove the special checks for these "?" like the one in spice-sdb.
  This patch updates these problematic name=? attributes in some symbols to name=unknown,
  and removes FIXME code snipit that checked for the ? value in spice-sdb.
