Rust has a [built-in test framework] that is capable of running unit tests without the need to set anything up. Just create a function that checks some results through assertions and add the `#[test]` attribute to the function header. Then `cargo test` will automatically find and execute all test functions of your crate.

Unfortunately it's a bit more complicated for `no_std` applications such as our kernel. The problem is that Rust's test framework implicitly uses the built-in [`test`] library, which depends on the standard library. This means that we can't use the default test framework for our `#[no_std]` kernel.

The [`without_interrupts`] function takes a [closure] and executes it in an interrupt-free environment. We use it to ensure that no interrupt can occur as long as the `Mutex` is locked. When we run our kernel now we see that it keeps running without hanging. (We still don't notice any dots, but this is because they're scrolling by too fast. Try to slow down the printing, e.g. by putting a `for _ in 0..10000 {}` inside the loop.)

We can apply the same change to our serial printing function to ensure that no deadlocks occur with it either:

The problem is that array construction in Rust requires that the contained type is [`Copy`]. The `ScreenChar` is `Copy`, but the `Volatile` wrapper is not. There is currently no easy way to circumvent this without using [`unsafe`], but fortunately there is the [`array_init`] crate that provides a safe interface for such operations.
