You aren't the first person to complain about this (and I am not sure
it is the first time you have complained about it). Anyway, I have
some follow on patches that will improve the late_initcall thing, and
people seemed okay with discussing the follow on patches as part of a
subsequent patchset after this gets merged.

I will nevertheless document the restriction until then.

It's part of the TAP specification[1]. Greg and Frank asked me to make
the intermediate format conform to TAP. Seems like something else I
should probable document...

Is there anyway to make that work with a statically defined array?

Basically, I want to be able to do something like:

static struct kunit_case example_test_cases[] = {
        KUNIT_CASE(example_simple_test),
        KUNIT_CASE(example_mock_test),
        {}
};

FYI,
#define KUNIT_CASE(test_name) { .run_case = test_name, .name = #test_name }

In order to do what you are proposing, I think I need an array of
pointers to test cases, which is not ideal.

That's reasonable. I will fix in next revision.

Cheers!
