1. A method of message filtering, comprising: during a first processing phase of a design for an electronic circuit, creating a filter table comprising message filters and storing the filter table in a memory using a processor, wherein the first processing phase includes elaboration of the design for implementation within an integrated circuit; wherein each message filter specifies a message criterion and an object identifier of the design, wherein the object identifier corresponds to an object of the design for the electronic circuit; during a subsequent processing phase of the design, comparing received messages with the message filters of the filter table using the processor; and responsive to determining that a selected message matches a message criterion and an object identifier of a selected message filter, suppressing the message using the processor.
