Now that we have code for sub(), test it. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Message-ID: <b2621b0d378317f0db5eeb2408c794429dc9f70a.1773770483.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
2026-03-22tools: unittests: add tests for CMatchMauro Carvalho Chehab
The CMatch logic is complex enough to justify tests to ensure that it is doing its job. Add unittests to check the functionality provided by CMatch by replicating expected patterns. The CMatch class handles with complex macros. Add an unittest to check if its doing the right thing and detect eventual regressions as we improve its code. The initial version was generated using gpt-oss:latest LLM on my local GPU, as LLMs aren't bad transforming patterns into unittests. Yet, the curent version contains only the skeleton of what LLM produced, as I ended higly changing its content to be more representative and to have real case scenarios. The kdoc_xforms test suite contains 3 test groups. Two of them tests the basic functionality of CMatch to replace patterns. The last one (TestRealUsecases) contains real code snippets from the Kernel with some cleanups to better fit in 80 columns and uses the same transforms as kernel-doc, thus allowing to test the logic used inside kdoc_parser to transform functions, structs and variable patterns. Its output is like this: $ tools/unittests/kdoc_xforms.py Ran 25 tests in 0.003s OK test_cmatch: TestSearch: test_search_acquires_multiple: OK test_search_acquires_nested_paren: OK test_search_acquires_simple: OK test_search_must_hold: OK test_search_must_hold_shared: OK test_search_no_false_positive: OK test_search_no_function: OK test_search_no_macro_remains: OK Ran 8 tests Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Message-ID: <119712b5bc53b4c6dda6a81b4a783dcbfd1d970d.1773770483.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
