[PATCH RESEND v2] Documentation: KUnit: Fix example with compilation error

From: Maíra Canal
Date: Wed Jul 20 2022 - 14:58:10 EST


The Parameterized Testing example contains a compilation error, as the
signature for the description helper function is void(*)(const struct
sha1_test_case *, char *), and the struct is non-const. This is
warned by Clang:

error: initialization of ‘void (*)(struct sha1_test_case *, char *)’
from incompatible pointer type ‘void (*)(const struct sha1_test_case *,
char *)’ [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
33 | KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM(sha1, cases, case_to_desc);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
../include/kunit/test.h:1339:70: note: in definition of macro
‘KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM’
1339 | void
(*__get_desc)(typeof(__next), char *) = get_desc; \

- Instead of changing the function signature to non-const, makes the cases
const (David Gow).
