Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] rust: kunit: add #[should_panic] support
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 13:59:01 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029-rust_kunit_v6_send-v2-1-5ce551efc48e@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029-rust_kunit_v6_send-v2-0-5ce551efc48e@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.
