test__keep_tracking — a test using a dummy software event to keep tracking. That's the whole name, no cap ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int test__keep_tracking (struct test_suite *test , int subtest );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• test — -- undescribed --. Like, that's literally all the manpage says, bestie 🙈 no extra lore, no secret backstory.
• subtest — -- undescribed --. Same energy: -- undescribed --, and we respect the mystery 💀

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this function implements a test that checks that tracking events continue when an event is disabled but a dummy software event is not disabled. That's the assignment, periodt 🔥

If the test passes, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned. Very demure, very clear 💖
