From ec0a42a17e463ee5b1ebd2d60337e8ae8e5ace2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Latypov Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2022 10:29:05 -0800 Subject: Documentation: KUnit: reword description of assertions The existing wording implies that kunit_kmalloc_array() is "the method under test". We're actually testing the sort() function in that example. This is because the example was changed in commit 953574390634 ("Documentation: KUnit: Rework writing page to focus on writing tests"), but the wording was not. Also add a `note` telling people they can use the KUNIT_ASSERT_EQ() macros from any function. Some users might be coming from a framework like gUnit where that'll compile but silently do the wrong thing.
