So, we need probably to implement our own unit-testing framework (a simplified one). In practice, this should not be too difficult.

Expected features:

Self-registering tests, see:

GoogleTest compatible output
Mocking?

Programming a kernel is quite a daunting task. It will be a good idea to test it extensively. For that, a first step is to write unit tests. But, the traditional unit testing frameworks in C++ (GoogleTest, Catch2, etc.) may not be compatible with kernel development.
