[PATCH 8/9] kunit: Add example parameterized test with direct dynamic parameter array setup

Marie Zhussupova marievic at google.com
Tue Jul 29 19:36:46 UTC 2025


Introduce `example_params_test_with_init_dynamic_arr`. This new
KUnit test demonstrates directly assigning a dynamic parameter
array using the `kunit_register_params_array` macro. It highlights the
use of `param_init` and `param_exit` for proper initialization and
cleanup, and their registration to the test with
`KUNIT_CASE_PARAM_WITH_INIT`.
