I still think that we are not on the same page.

The macros are to be used from tests, such as TST_ASSERT_INT() these
macros call the corresponding functions with __FILE__ and __LINE__, in
this case tst_assert_int(). From that point on anything that is called
from inside of the tst_assert_int() function should pass down the file
and lineno so that we get the filename and lineno from the line the call
has been called in the test.

So if we do TST_ASSERT_INT() in the test, we call tst_brk_() and pass
the file and lineno so that we get the correct test line in case of a
failure.

And for the same reason if we are going to get an value from a file from
inside of the assert function we have to call the safe_file_scanf() and
pass down the file and lineno so that if the call fails the test
filename and the line on which the call originated in the test is
printed.

Is it clear now?
