ASSERT_MEM_NE(9)

✨ ASSERT_MEM_NE(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (Kernel API Manual, yes bestie, that's the whole vibe) and it's about ASSERT_MEM_NE — a little macro that does a vibe check on memory 🫶

💅 NAME

ASSERT_MEM_NE — checks that none of the first @_size bytes of @_seen are equal to @_expected. no cap, that's literally the whole job.

and if that check comes back false? it prints the failed test message (only if you're running with --verbose, iykyk 🙈) and then it asserts. like, it asserts asserts. dramatic but fair 💀

🌸 SYNOPSIS

ASSERT_MEM_NE (_seen , _expected , _size );

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• _seen — -- undescribed -- 🦋 (the page really said "no thoughts, head empty" and moved on, so we're keeping it exactly like that)
• _expected — -- undescribed -- ✨ (same energy, the docs ghosted this one)
• _size — -- undescribed -- 💜 (yep, also undescribed, love that for us)

ngl the source page leaves all three of these as -- undescribed --, so there's literally nothing more to tell you here. that's not me being lazy, that's canon 📖
