Q: How do I upgrade/downgrade messages from Verific?

Verific message table, with notation as whether the error can be safely downgraded:

"Verific Message Table"

(Access to Verific On-line Documentation requires login. Contact Verific if you don't know/don't have credentials).

You can set any message to any type below:

VERIFIC_NONE,         // print no prefix
VERIFIC_ERROR,        // print ERROR:
VERIFIC_WARNING,      // print WARNING:
VERIFIC_IGNORE,       // ignore message (do not print message):
VERIFIC_INFO,         // print INFO:
VERIFIC_COMMENT,      // print --
VERIFIC_PROGRAM_ERROR // print PROGRAM_ERROR

For C++, use the following APIs:

Message::SetMessageType()       - Force a message type by message id
Message::GetMessageType()       - Get the message type by message id
Message::ClearMessageType()     - Clear a message type by message id
Message::SetAllMessageType()    - Force all messages of type 'orig' to behave as type 'type'.
Message::ClearAllMessageTypes() - Clear all forced message types

For Tcl, use the following commands:

setmsgtype
clearmsgtype

Some Perl command examples:

# ignore message VNLR-1015
Verific::Message::SetMessageType("VNLR-1015", $Verific::VERIFIC_IGNORE);
# ignore all warning messages
Verific::Message::SetAllMessageType($Verific::VERIFIC_WARNING, $Verific::VERIFIC_IGNORE);

Note that downgrading an error may have unpredictable/undesirable results.
