-Fuzzer -- a library for coverage-guided fuzz testing.
-===============================
+Move to http://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html
-This library is intended primarily for in-process coverage-guided fuzz testing
-(fuzzing) of other libraries. The typical workflow looks like this:
-
- * Build the Fuzzer library as a static archive (or just a set of .o files).
- Note that the Fuzzer contains the main() function.
- Preferably do *not* use sanitizers while building the Fuzzer.
- * Build the library you are going to test with -fsanitize-coverage=[234]
- and one of the sanitizers. We recommend to build the library in several
- different modes (e.g. asan, msan, lsan, ubsan, etc) and even using different
- optimizations options (e.g. -O0, -O1, -O2) to diversify testing.
- * Build a test driver using the same options as the library.
- The test driver is a C/C++ file containing interesting calls to the library
- inside a single function:
- extern "C" void TestOneInput(const uint8_t *Data, size_t Size);
- * Link the Fuzzer, the library and the driver together into an executable
- using the same sanitizer options as for the library.
- * Collect the initial corpus of inputs for the
- fuzzer (a directory with test inputs, one file per input).
- The better your inputs are the faster you will find something interesting.
- Also try to keep your inputs small, otherwise the Fuzzer will run too slow.
- * Run the fuzzer with the test corpus. As new interesting test cases are
- discovered they will be added to the corpus. If a bug is discovered by
- the sanitizer (asan, etc) it will be reported as usual and the reproducer
- will be written to disk.
- Each Fuzzer process is single-threaded (unless the library starts its own
- threads). You can run the Fuzzer on the same corpus in multiple processes.
- in parallel. For run-time options run the Fuzzer binary with '-help=1'.

-The Fuzzer is similar in concept to AFL (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/),
-but uses in-process Fuzzing, which is more fragile, more restrictive, but
-potentially much faster as it has no overhead for process start-up.
-It uses LLVM's "Sanitizer Coverage" instrumentation to get in-process
-coverage-feedback https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/AsanCoverage
-
-The code resides in the LLVM repository and is (or will be) used by various
-parts of LLVM, but the Fuzzer itself does not (and should not) depend on any
-part of LLVM and can be used for other projects. Ideally, the Fuzzer's code
-should not have any external dependencies. Right now it uses STL, which may need
-to be fixed later.
-
-Examples of usage in LLVM:
- * clang-format-fuzzer. The inputs are random pieces of C++-like text.
- * TODO: add more
-
-Toy example (see SimpleTest.cpp):
-a simple function that does something interesting if it receives bytes "Hi!".
- # Build the Fuzzer with asan:
- % clang++ -std=c++11 -fsanitize=address -fsanitize-coverage=3 -O1 -g \
- Fuzzer*.cpp test/SimpleTest.cpp
- # Run the fuzzer with no corpus (assuming on empty input)
- % ./a.out
