The net= attribute/mechanism is fairly new, so there are bound
to be bugs (many bugs). Here are some of the identified issues:
- As of 19991011 almost all of the symbols in the standard library
do not have the net= attribute or any other power/ground
specifiers. Hopefully this will be updated sometime (any
volunteers?).
- Attach a special power symbol (vcc/gnd) to a already named net
will alias (rename) that net to the signalname specified in the net= attribute (in/attached to the vcc/gnd symbol). You can override
this (so the reverse is true) by playing with the
"net-naming-priority". Be careful with this. There might be other
"aliasing" issues which have not been identified yet.
- Creating a net= attribute which associates a signal name
with a pin which is already visible on the symbol, is probably a bad
idea. This does work, but all the ramifications have not been
explored yet.
- It is probably a bad idea to have the same net= attribute
attached several times. Ales has not formalized what happens in this
case. Just remember that the net= attribute on the outside of a
symbol should override the internal one.
