1# The `libfuzzer-sys` Crate
2
3Barebones wrapper around LLVM's libFuzzer runtime library.
4
5The CPP parts are extracted from compiler-rt git repository with `git filter-branch`.
6
7libFuzzer relies on LLVM sanitizer support. The Rust compiler has built-in support for LLVM sanitizer support, for now, it's limited to Linux. As a result, `libfuzzer-sys` only works on Linux.

9## Usage
10
11### Use `cargo fuzz`!

17### Manual Usage
18
19This crate can also be used manually as following:
20
21First create a new cargo project:
22
23```
24$ cargo new --bin fuzzed
25$ cd fuzzed
26```
27
28Then add a dependency on the `fuzzer-sys` crate and your own crate:
29
30```toml
31[dependencies]
32libfuzzer-sys = "0.3.0"
33your_crate = { path = "../path/to/your/crate" }
34```
35
36Change the `fuzzed/src/main.rs` to fuzz your code:
37
38```rust
39#![no_main]
40
41use libfuzzer_sys::fuzz_target;
42
43fuzz_target!(|data: &[u8]| {
44 // code to fuzz goes here
45});
46```
47
48Build by running the following command:
49
50```sh
51$ cargo rustc -- \
52 -C passes='sancov' \
53 -C llvm-args='-sanitizer-coverage-level=3' \
54 -C llvm-args='-sanitizer-coverage-inline-8bit-counters' \
55 -Z sanitizer=address
56```
57
58And finally, run the fuzzer:
59
60```sh
61$ ./target/debug/fuzzed
62```
63
64## Updating libfuzzer from upstream
