MESSAGESThe MESSAGES view contains (a) placeholder messages, (b) standards enforcement diagnostic messages, and (c) message comments.
A placeholder message warns that the Ada file contains a placeholder that has not been filled in yet.
There are three sorts of standards enforcement message: (i) ERROR, (ii) VIOLATION, and (iii) INDICATOR. The display of standards enforcement messages is controlled By the enforcement parameters.
Message comments are comments written in the Ada file that are intended for inclusion in the MESSAGES view. If a comment begins with --c, where c is a character in enforcement parameter Message Comments, then the comment will appear in MESSAGES. One use for message comments is to annotate or explain a style violation. Message comments can also be used as bookmarks.
