For others, gerrit == https://kunit-review.googlesource.com/c/linux/+/5129

I'm running on top of 5.5.
I tried reproducing w/ a stripped down version on 5.18 and saw the same issues.

Huh, I'm trying with
#define kunit_activate_static_stub(test, real_fn_addr,
replacement_addr) do { \
- typecheck(typeof(real_fn_addr), replacement_addr);
\
+ typecheck_fn(typeof(real_fn_addr), replacement_addr); \
__kunit_activate_static_stub(test, real_fn_addr,
replacement_addr); \

This gives me
lib/kunit/example-test.c:62:9: error: function ‘__tmp’ is initialized
like a variable
62 | kunit_activate_static_stub(test, add_one, subtract_one);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lib/kunit/example-test.c:64:9: error: function ‘__tmp’ is initialized
like a variable
64 | kunit_activate_static_stub(test, other_func, other_func);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Perhaps I'm missing something silly.

Can you post your fix and I can try it out?
