Fuzzing for LLVM-libc Fuzzing for LLVM-libc functions
--------------------- ===============================
Fuzzing tests are used to ensure quality and security of LLVM-libc Fuzz tests are used to ensure quality and security of LLVM-libc implementations.
implementations. All fuzz tests live under the directory named ``fuzzing``. Within this
directory, the fuzz test for a libc function lives in the same nested directory
as its implementation in the toplevel ``src`` directory. The build target
``libc-fuzzer`` builds all of the enabled fuzz tests (but does not run them).
Each fuzzing test lives under the fuzzing directory in a subdirectory Types of fuzz tests
corresponding with the src layout. ===================
Currently we use system libc for functions that have yet to be implemented, As of this writing, there are two different kinds of fuzz tests. One kind are
however as they are implemented the fuzzers will be changed to use our the traditional fuzz tests which test one function at a time and only that
