HAL: turn on a rule in the design_info file

Hi,

I am trying to turn on a rule, that is turned off into the def file, into the design_info file for a certain part of the module

for instance, in the def file, I have

INSTNM {level=4} {off}

and in the design_info file :

lint_checking designunit = chip_top
{
 INSTNM {pattern="i_*"} on ;
}

with this configuration, I will never have a warning reported by the tool, as it seems it considers the rule INSTNM always off

but, if I do the opposite, turn on the rule in the def file and turn it off in the design_info file, I will have the expected result.

we can deduce that the design_info file is well taking into account by the tool.

note that, I have the same problem with all the rules I try to turn on in the design_info file, even rules without 'pattern' paramter

any ideas are welcome,

thanks
