6## Reproducing using `fuzz`
7
8We assume that you can [build Skia](/docs/user/build). Many fuzzes only
9reproduce when building with ASAN or MSAN; see
10[those instructions for more details](../xsan).
11
12When building, you should add the following args to BUILD.gn to make reproducing
13less machine- and platform- dependent:
14
15    skia_use_fontconfig=false
16    skia_use_freetype=true
17    skia_use_system_freetype2=false
18    skia_use_wuffs=true
19    skia_enable_skottie=true
20    skia_enable_fontmgr_custom_directory=false
21    skia_enable_fontmgr_custom_embedded=false
22    skia_enable_fontmgr_custom_empty=true
23
24All that is needed to reproduce a fuzz downloaded from ClusterFuzz or oss-fuzz
25is to run something like:
26
27    out/ASAN/fuzz -b /path/to/downloaded/testcase
28
29The fuzz binary will try its best to guess what the type/name should be based on
30the name of the testcase. Manually providing type and name is also supported,
31like:
32
33    out/ASAN/fuzz -t filter_fuzz -b /path/to/downloaded/testcase
34    out/ASAN/fuzz -t api -n RasterN32Canvas -b /path/to/downloaded/testcase
35
36To enumerate all supported types and names, run the following:
37
38    out/ASAN/fuzz --help  # will list all types
39    out/ASAN/fuzz -t api  # will list all names
40
41If the crash does not show up, try to add the flag --loops:
42
43    out/ASAN/fuzz -b /path/to/downloaded/testcase --loops <times-to-run>
44
45## Writing fuzzers with libfuzzer
46
47libfuzzer is an easy way to write new fuzzers, and how we run them on oss-fuzz.
48Your fuzzer entry point should implement this API:
49
50    extern "C" int LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput(const uint8_t*, size_t);
51
52First install Clang and libfuzzer, e.g.
53
54    sudo apt install clang-10 libc++-10-dev libfuzzer-10-dev
55
56You should now be able to use `-fsanitize=fuzzer` with Clang.
57
58Set up GN args to use libfuzzer:
59
60    cc = "clang-10"
61    cxx = "clang++-10"
62    sanitize = "fuzzer"
63    extra_cflags = [ "-DSK_BUILD_FOR_LIBFUZZER", # enables fuzzer-constraints (see below)
64                     "-O1"  # Or whatever you want.
65                   ]
66    ...
67
68Build Skia and your fuzzer entry point:
69
70    ninja -C out/libfuzzer skia
71    clang++-10 -I. -O1 -fsanitize=fuzzer fuzz/oss_fuzz/whatever.cpp out/libfuzzer/libskia.a
72
73Run your new fuzzer binary
74
75    ./a.out
76
77## Fuzzing Defines
78
79There are some defines that can help guide a fuzzer to be more productive (e.g.
80avoid OOMs, avoid unnecessarily slow code).
81
82    // Required for fuzzing with afl-fuzz to prevent OOMs from adding noise.
83    SK_BUILD_FOR_AFL_FUZZ
84
85    // Required for fuzzing with libfuzzer
86    SK_BUILD_FOR_LIBFUZZER
87
88    // This define adds in guards to abort when we think some code path will take a long time or
89    // use a lot of RAM. It is set by default when either of the above defines are set.
90    SK_BUILD_FOR_FUZZER
