Re: Summer of code: Gschem analysis for parsing

Hi,

As far as my understanding goes in order to get netlist from schematic
files of gschem, it is required to
get a list of all components in the circuit and their attributes. The
required attributes include
1. 'refdes' (which can be generated automatically if missing)
2. 'value' in case of passive components like resistors, capacitors etc.
3. 'model-name' for a active components like transistors, diodes and other
models.
In some cases, value attribute can also contain the model name of active
components
(Eg: value=2N3904 for a transistor)

After getting the model name, in order to use in the analysis, the
parameters of models are needed.
Does this mean that the models should be stored?  (loaded as plugins?)
Also, what can be done in case of missing component values? Use some
default values?

After getting all the components, nets in schematics can be analysed to
connect the components
accordingly .i.e, creating nodes in the circuit.
