Now that we have the VISIBLE_IF_KUNIT and EXPORT_SYMBOL_IF_KUNIT macros,
update the instructions to recommend this way of testing static
functions.

------------------------
If we do not want to expose functions or variables for testing, one option is to
-conditionally ``#include`` the test file at the end of your .c file. For
-example:
+conditionally export the used symbol. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* In my_file.c */
+
+ VISIBLE_IF_KUNIT int do_interesting_thing();
+ EXPORT_SYMBOL_IF_KUNIT(do_interesting_thing);
+
+ /* In my_file.h */
+
+ #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KUNIT)
+ int do_interesting_thing(void);
+ #endif
+
+Alternatively, you could conditionally ``#include`` the test file at the end of
+your .c file. For example:
.. code-block:: c

Reviewed-by: David Gow <davidgow@google.com> We may try to add some more reference documentation for the visibility.h header later on, but this example is probably more useful anyway.
