   Could you explain a bit about what it means to "inline" the tests? Marking anonymous structs isn't too difficult.

   That was a bad way to describe how to treat it in tests. So for:

   struct foo {
       bar: anon_bar,
   }
   
   struct anon_bar {
       a: u32,
       b: u32,
   }

   I think we can basically generate tests as if it was instead:

   struct foo {
       a: u32,
       b: u32
   }

   But only for what is passed to the test template, that kind of definition isn't actually accurate because of alignment.

   This isn't high priority btw, just an enhancement over old ctest
