Please enclose this in a "do { } while (0)" block when using more than
one statement, because you can be certain that sooner or later someone
will put an "if" or "for" above it. This will also avoid the double
colon caused by the trailing one.

Till now it looks easier and more readable.

Here however I feel like we're already hacking internals of the test
system and that doesn't seem natural nor logical. OK I understand that
llen contains the lenght of the emitted message, but how should the
user easily guess that it's placed into ->exe.llen, and they may or may
not touch other fields there, etc ? Also the fact that the variable is
prefixed with an underscore signals a warning to the user that they
should not fiddle too much with its internals.

I'm seeing basically two possible approaches:
  - one consisting in having a wrapper around printf() that transparently
    sets the llen field in _metadata->exe. This at least offload this
    knowledge from the user who can then just know they have to pass an
    opaque metadata argument and that's all.

  - one consisting in saying that such functions should not affect the
    test's metadata themselves and that it ought to be the caller's job
    instead. The function then only ought to return the printed length,
    and will not need the metadata at all.

I tend to prefer the second option. In addition, you seem to be returning
only 3 statuses (ok/skip/fail) so returning a single composite value for
this is easy, e.g. (result | llen) with result made of macros only touching
the high bits. If in the future more returns are needed, either a larger
int or shift can be used, or we can then return pairs or structs.
