Show differing pointer values when comparing pointers instead of the
content they point to.
It's confusing for a test to say "expected S{.x = 1}, found S{.x = 1}"
as illustrated below when it was the pointers that differed.
There seems to be different rules for when a pointer is dereferenced by
the printing routine depending on its type. I don't fully grok this but
it's also illustrated below.
const std = @import("std");
const S = struct { x: u32 };
// before: ...expected S{ .x = 1 }, found S{ .x = 1 }
// after: ...expected S@7ffcd20b7798, found S@7ffcd20b7790
test "compare_ptr_to_struct" {
var a = S{.x = 1};
var b = S{.x = 1};
std.testing.expectEqual(&a, &b);
}
// before: ...expected u32@7fff316ba31c, found u32@7fff316ba318
// after: ...expected u32@7ffecec622dc, found u32@7ffecec622d8
test "compare_ptr_to_scalar" {
var a: u32 = 1;
var b: u32 = 1;
std.testing.expectEqual(&a, &b);
}
