Subject: [PATCH 1/3] rust: kunit: add #[should_panic] support
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 10:23:28 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930-rust_kunit_v4-v1-1-e3b0d45311dd@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930-rust_kunit_v4-v1-0-e3b0d45311dd@gmail.com>
From: Nicolás Antinori <nico.antinori.7@gmail.com>
KUnit tests in Rust are written using user-space like syntax. This patch
adds support for the `#[should_panic]` attribute, enabling the user to
test conditions that are expected to cause a panic and report the test
as successful.
