"nonexistent" is definitely a valid word: https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/nonexistent https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/us/nonexistent It's also used as a suggested correction in Lintian's typo checker (Lintian is a Debian package QA tool): https://github.com/Debian/lintian/blob/master/data/spelling/corrections nonexistant||nonexistent "non-existent" exists too and would be the British spelling (though it might have lost its hyphen in a recent spelling revision that removed hyphens from some 16000 words. But I could not confirm that). So one could use that spelling if British English is the standard in Spice. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/non-existent But as far as I can tell the form with a space and the -ing ending is not valid at all. -- Francois Gouget <fgouget@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
