From f43ea6fd47eb3e7ceb8da7c30aa93926516a5886 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Felipe R. Monteiro" Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 19:07:24 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] Print exercised stubs, split tests, and update documentation Print stubs applied to each harness in verification output (#2119): When a harness uses #[kani::stub] or #[kani::stub_verified], the stub mappings are now printed before verification begins, e.g.: Checking harness my_harness... - Stub: original_fn -> replacement_fn This makes the assumptions introduced by stubbing visible to users. Split stubbing tests into individual harnesses (#1861): Four test files had multiple stub scenarios bundled into a single harness (a workaround from when stubbing only supported one harness). Split each into separate harnesses with descriptive names: - public_function.rs: check_local_fn_stub, check_pub_fn_in_module_stub - struct_method.rs: check_pub_method_stub, check_priv_method_via_delegation - enum_method.rs: check_enum_pub_method_stub, check_enum_priv_method_via_delegation - method_generic_type.rs: check_generic_type_pub_method_stub, check_generic_type_priv_method_via_delegation Also removed the --harness main flag since multiple harnesses now run. Documentation audit (stubbing.md): - Add 'Stub visibility in verification output' section with example - Add 'Trait method stubbing' limitation section explaining that ::method syntax is not supported - Improve limitations section organization Signed-off-by: Felipe R.

The function Y cannot be stubbed by Z due to generic bounds not being met' to the new format 'type X doesn't implement trait Y, so Z cannot be stubbed by W. All trait bounds of the stub must be satisfied by the original's call sites.' Signed-off-by: Felipe R.

However, the expected output files were still named 'main.expected', causing compiletest to pass '--harness main' which fails with E0601 since no 'main' function exists. Renaming to 'expected' (no extension) skips the --harness flag entirely, allowing all harnesses in the crate to run. --- .../stubbing-foreign-method/{main.expected => expected} | 0 tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-foreign-method/src/main.rs | 2 ++ .../{main.expected => expected} | 0 tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-private-foreign-function/src/main.rs | 2 ++ .../{main.expected => expected} | 0 tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-public-foreign-function/src/main.rs | 2 ++ 6 files changed, 6 insertions(+) rename tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-foreign-method/{main.expected => expected} (100%) rename tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-private-foreign-function/{main.expected => expected} (100%) rename tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-public-foreign-function/{main.expected => expected} (100%) diff --git a/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-foreign-method/main.expected b/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-foreign-method/expected similarity index 100% rename from tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-foreign-method/main.expected rename to tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-foreign-method/expected diff --git a/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-foreign-method/src/main.rs b/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-foreign-method/src/main.rs index fc7b69840e04..2a601a1ad124 100644 --- a/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-foreign-method/src/main.rs +++ b/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-foreign-method/src/main.rs @@ -22,3 +22,5 @@ fn check_priv_method_stub() { fn check_priv_type_method_stub() { assert_eq!(other_crate::PubType::new().fn_delegating_to_priv_type(), 42); } + +fn main() {} diff --git a/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-private-foreign-function/main.expected b/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-private-foreign-function/expected similarity index 100% rename from tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-private-foreign-function/main.expected rename to tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-private-foreign-function/expected diff --git a/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-private-foreign-function/src/main.rs b/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-private-foreign-function/src/main.rs index d0fd85c65927..92aa5b1233b2 100644 --- a/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-private-foreign-function/src/main.rs +++ b/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-private-foreign-function/src/main.rs @@ -16,3 +16,5 @@ fn check_priv_fn_stub() { fn check_priv_mod_fn_stub() { assert_eq!(other_crate::pub_mod::fn_delegating_to_priv_fn(), 42); } + +fn main() {} diff --git a/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-public-foreign-function/main.expected b/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-public-foreign-function/expected similarity index 100% rename from tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-public-foreign-function/main.expected rename to tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-public-foreign-function/expected diff --git a/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-public-foreign-function/src/main.rs b/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-public-foreign-function/src/main.rs index 997bab5274ae..64f5ea7b4ca9 100644 --- a/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-public-foreign-function/src/main.rs +++ b/tests/cargo-kani/stubbing-public-foreign-function/src/main.rs @@ -20,3 +20,5 @@ fn check_pub_fn_stub() { fn check_pub_mod_fn_stub() { assert_eq!(other_crate::pub_mod::pub_fn(), 42); } + +fn main() {} From faa38d5af058cceacea0551b64d767577d9c3c65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Felipe R.
