[RFC PATCH 08/12] verification/rvgen: Add selftests

Gabriele Monaco
2026-04-27T15:12:40Z

The rvgen code generator needs validation to ensure it produces correct
monitor implementations from input specifications.

Add selftests with golden reference outputs covering all monitor classes
(DA, HA, LTL) and types (global, per_cpu, per_task, per_obj), including
optional features like descriptions and parent monitors. Container
generation and error handling (missing files, invalid specifications,
missing arguments) are also validated against expected output.
