KUNIT_EXPECT_PTR_EQ(9)

💖 KUNIT_EXPECT_PTR_EQ 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for KUNIT_EXPECT_PTR_EQ — the pointer-equality expectation that is lowkey iconic and very much “tiny macro, big main character energy.” we are gonna read it together, no skips, periodt. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

KUNIT_EXPECT_PTR_EQ — Expects that pointers @left and @right are equal.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here’s the whole call, character-for-character, bestie:

KUNIT_EXPECT_PTR_EQ (test , left , right );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• test — The test context object.
• left — an arbitrary expression that evaluates to a pointer.
• right — an arbitrary expression that evaluates to a pointer.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this one sets an expectation that the values that left and right evaluate to are equal. That’s the whole vibe check. ✨

It is semantically equivalent to KUNIT_EXPECT_TRUE(test, (left) == (right)). See KUNIT_EXPECT_TRUE for more information. like, literally, that’s the tea. 🫶
