[SOLVED] Synopsys VCS message severity change from error to warning

Synopsys VCS message severity change from error to warning

I want to change the severity of the message from error to warning.

I'm currently experiencing the below error:

Error-[IPC] Illegal high conn for port connect

Please let me know if any switch is available for this in the VCS compiler.

Solution

According to the 2023 version of VCS on SolvNet, the VCS User Guide documentation states that you can change the severity of the message from error to warning using a configuration file, but this is only possible for some error messages. This is specified in the section named "Error/Warning/Lint Message Control".

Refer to the documentation for the version of VCS that you are using.

In the configuration file, you can add a line like:

-error=noIPC

Note:

Not all error messages are downgradable. If you enter an error message ID for a non-downgradable error message, you receive a different error message indicating that it is not downgradable.

There are also options to disable the display of messages for some errors.
