Re: gEDA-dev: Non-text attributes

[Paul Tan <pt75234-at-NOSPAMaim_dot_com>]

Hi all,

There are current usages of this, in Spice netlist, as shown in

http://www.geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:sdb_howto


model=IS=0.5UA RS=6 BV=5.20


I think this feature is very important for other netlisters too.
If implemented in the future, Verilog and VHDL netlisters can also
use this features to pass lines of parameters(Verilog) and Generic,
Generic_map (VHDL).


Best Regards,

Paul Tan

    I'm okay with making this restriction, unless somebody comes up
with a good counter argument.

    The only place where it was ever used was in attaching logic
bubbles to pins.  You might want to check the symbol library to see how
widespread this really is.
