# Property tests for `bindgen` with `quickchecking`

`quickchecking` generates random C headers to test `bindgen` 
using the [`quickcheck`][quickcheck] property testing crate. When testing 
`bindgen` with `quickchecking`, the generated header files are passed to 
`bindgen`'s `csmith-fuzzing/predicate.py` script. If that script fails, 
`quickchecking` panics, and you can report an issue containing the test case!

## Prerequisites

Requires `python3` to be in `$PATH`.

Many systems have `python3` by default but if your OS doesn't, its package 
manager may make it available:

```
$ sudo apt install python3
$ brew install python3
$ # Etc...
```

## Running

Run `quickchecking` binary to generate and test fuzzed C headers with 
`cargo run`. Additional configuration is exposed through the binary's CLI.

```
$ cargo run --bin=quickchecking -- -h
```
