Summary

0000293: cGate::getDisplayString() wrong behavior when gate is unconnected

Description

cGate::getDisplayString() creates a cIdealChannel to hold the display string if there's no channel at the time of the call. However, it also creates a channel if the gate is unconnected. This causes the problem when you want to connect the gate, as connectTo() expects the channel to be NULL.

Possibilities of what getDisplayString() should do for an unconnected gate:
- throw an exception?
- return a dummy display string?
