The macro check_strvec calls the function check_strvec_loc(), which performs the actual checks. They report the line number inside that function on error, which is not very helpful. Half of them trigger an assertion with a custom message that reports the line of the check_strvec call, which is more useful, but a bit awkward. Improve the output by getting rid of check_strvec_loc() and performing all checks within check_strvec, as they then report the line number of the call site, aiding in finding the broken test. Determine the number of items and check it up front to avoid having to do them both in the loop and at the end. Sanity check the expected items to make sure there are any and that the last one is NULL, as the compiler no longer does that for us with the removal of the function attribute LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL. Use only the actual strvec name passed to the macro, the internal "expect" array name and an index "i" in the output, for clarity. While "expect" does not exist at the call site, it's reasonably easy to infer that its referring to the NULL-terminated list of expected strings, converted to an array. Align the "i" with previous lines in the output. Here's the output with less items than expected in the strvec before: # check "vec->nr > nr" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:19 # left: 1 # right: 1 # check "strvec index 1" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:71 ... and with the patch we get the more concise and still comprehensive: # check "(&vec)->nr == ARRAY_SIZE(expect) - 1" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:53 # left: 1 # right: 2 With too many items in the strvec we got before: # check "vec->nr == nr" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:34 # left: 1 # right: 0 # check "vec->v[nr] == NULL" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:36 # left: 0x6000019a40b0 # right: 0x0 ... and with the patch we get the more concise and informative output that includes the caller's line number: # check "(&vec)->nr == ARRAY_SIZE(expect) - 1" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:53 # left: 1 # right: 0 A broken alloc value was reported like this: # check "vec->alloc > nr" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:20 # left: 0 # right: 0 # check "strvec index 0" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:74 ... and with the patch: # check "(&vec)->nr <= (&vec)->alloc" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:56 # left: 2 # right: 0 Note that .alloc == .nr is only valid if the strvec is empty, but check_strvec doesn't detect this error with or without this patch. Leave that for later. An unexpected string value was reported like this: # check "!strcmp(vec->v[nr], str)" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:21 # left: "foo" # right: "bar" # check "strvec index 0" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:71 ... and with the patch we get: # check "!strcmp((&vec)->v[i], expect[i])" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:53 # left: "foo" # right: "bar" # i: 0 If the strvec is not NULL terminated, we got: # check "vec->v[nr] == NULL" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:36 # left: 0x10444e9e4 # right: 0x0 ... and with the patch we get the line number of the caller: # check "!strcmp((&vec)->v[i], expect[i])" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:53 # left: "bar" # right: NULL # i: 1 check_strvec calls without a trailing NULL were detected at compile time before: t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:71:2: error: missing sentinel in function call [-Werror,-Wsentinel] ... and with the patch it's only found at runtime: # check "expect[ARRAY_SIZE(expect) - 1] == NULL" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:53 # left: 0x100e5a663 # right: 0x0 We can let check_strvec add the terminating NULL for us and remove it from callers, making it impossible to forget. Leave that conversion for a future patch, though, since this reimplementation is already intrusive enough.
