Re: gEDA-user: inverted pins?



I'm not trying to stir up the bees nest, but I prefer to keep net names simple without and any notion of active level. Active low pins get the bubble. A former colleague clued me into this method. It's kind of nice in that you never have to go and update your net names (add/remove bar) to fix up a change in active state. Besides, how many formats have you seen for inverted net name? How 'bout: #foo, !foo, \foo, foobar, and of course, foo with a bar over the top :-)

BTW, I code this way too (verilog, vhdl, etc.). The net names never indicate active state. Works for me, just my opinion, and we all know about opinions :)
