Working with Errors, Warnings, and Messages

As any compiler, PostSharp can emit messages, warnings, and errors, commonly referred to as message. Custom code running at build time (typically the implementation of CompileTimeValidate or of a custom constraint) can use PostSharp messaging facility to emit their own messages.
