Configuring Multiline Assert Rule¶

There is a rule which will check indent of multiline assert statements. The method of indenting can be configured using one of the following options:

Option	Values	Default Value	Description
`alignment`	`left`, `report`	`left`	The setting `left` enforces multiline report statements using indents. The setting `report` aligns multiline report statements to the report keyword.

Example: `alignment` set to `report`¶

Setting the alignment option to report will align report expressions with the report keyword.

assert WIDTH > 16
  report "FIFO width is limited" &
         " to 16 bits."
  severity FAILURE;

Setting the alignment option to left will align report expressions an additional indent level form the report keyword.

assert WIDTH > 16
  report "FIFO width is limited" &
    " to 16 bits."
  severity FAILURE;
