Description

There is no standard way to write an error message, or
a warning message from verification code (or RTL code too.)

Thus everyone writes their own with their own format, etc.

There should be a mechanism that allows one to:
Produce an error message composed of:
a user defined message, with varied arguments printed
the simulation time
the hierarchical name of the code producing the message.
the file and line number of the code location.

Produce a warning message composed of the same
information.
Produce an informative message composed of the same
information.
Produce a fatal message composed of the same
information and finish the simulation.

A method to count error messages
and finish or stop or do nothing to the simulation.
A method to disable warning messages from printing.
A method to specify the number of error messages before
finishing or stopping.
