KUNIT_EXPECT_GE(9)
π KUNIT_EXPECT_GE(9) π
okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a little icon of a macro. let's get into it π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
KUNIT_EXPECT_GE β bestie, it expects that @left is greater than or equal to @right. that's the whole vibe check.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
KUNIT_EXPECT_GE (test , left , right );
π ARGUMENTS π
testβ the test context object. it's the main character that holds everything together πleftβ an arbitrary expression that evaluates to a primitive C type.rightβ an arbitrary expression that evaluates to a primitive C type.
like yes, arbitrary expression, primitive C type, we see you. both sides, same energy. π¦
π DESCRIPTION π
so what it does: it sets an expectation that the value that left evaluates to is greater than the value that right evaluates to. it's giving "left stays winning" β¨
and the important part β this is semantically equivalent to:
KUNIT_EXPECT_TRUE(test, (left) >= (right))
so if you wanna know the deep lore, go read KUNIT_EXPECT_TRUE for more information. iykyk π
