KUNIT_EXPECT_NULL(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 KUNIT_EXPECT_NULL ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual, section 9 — this one's about KUNIT_EXPECT_NULL, and honestly? she's a little icon of a macro 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

KUNIT_EXPECT_NULL — literally just: "expects that @ptr is null." that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

KUNIT_EXPECT_NULL (test , ptr );

no cap, that's the entire call. two things go in, nothing comes out except ✨judgement✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • test — the test context object, aka the main character of your test suite 👑
  • ptr — an arbitrary pointer. any pointer. she's just some girl. we're checking if she's null 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what this does: it sets an expectation that the value that ptr evaluates to is null. that's the assignment. that's the mission. ✅

and the tea? it's semantically equivalent to:

KUNIT_EXPECT_PTR_EQ(test, ptr, NULL)

like, same energy, different font. 💅 if you wanna know more, see KUNIT_EXPECT_TRUE — she's the one with all the lore ✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is long long, so buckle up bestie, we're going on a journey through ./include/kunit/test.h 🧚

like I said. long long. go read one of them, iykyk 📚💜

okay so real talk: the only source file for this whole thing is ./include/kunit/test.h — that's where the magic lives, bestie 🏠✨

and that's the whole page fr fr 🫶 this was KUNIT_EXPECT_NULL(9) from the kernel API manual, straight out of ./include/kunit, dated October 2026 — slay, iconic, no notes 💅🎀⭐
