skDisableMessageBlock

skDisableMessageBlock( 
l_rules 
g_exp1 ... 
) 
=> g_result

Description

Disables one or a list of SKILL Lint messages from being reported by rules within the body of the function. You might want to turn off certain rules temporarily, and not globally, inside a particular block of code. SKILL Lint will recognize a call to this function if inserted inside the block of code being analyzed.

This function does not work for summary or statistic messages generated by SKILL Lint (for example, message:External). In these cases, use the sklint ?depends and ?ignores keyed arguments.

Arguments

l_rules	One or more rules to ignore for all the code within the body of this function (that is, g_exp1 ...).
g_exp1	Expressions that compose the function body.

Value Returned

g_result

The result of the last expression evaluated. It can be ignored.

Examples

To disable the single SKILL Lint message for MEMBER1 from reporting (the parentheses around the message name can be omitted):

(procedure (aFunc a b)
     (skDisableMessageBlock MEMBER1
          (member a b)
          (geOpen)
     )
     (member 1 a)
)

To disable the SKILL Lint messages for MEMBER1 and geOpen from reporting:

(procedure (aFunc a b)
     (skDisableMessageBlock (MEMBER1 geOpen)
          (member a b)
          (geOpen)
     )
     (member 1 a)
)
