[PATCH 0/5] lib/string_helpers: fixes and test cases for string_unescape()
From: Jonas Rebmann
Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 13:46:21 EST
This series fixes two bugs in string_unescape() regarding the
destination buffer length. Both fixes are accompanied with kunit tests
which would fail without the fixes.
To make this possible, preparatory patches 1 and 2 improve and clean up
testing helpers and 3 introduces test_unescape_one() which allows for
targeted testing of the string_unescape() function.
