Nit: This line seems to be redundant -- we already have a `*p` in the same block. Also, why does this function need to return anything -- just make it `void`?

(Generally, try to make tests contain only the minimal amount of code you need to test the behavior the test targets. Also applies similarly to other tests below.)
