It receives as input a cxx_loop_proto which it then converts into a +string of valid LLVM IR: a function with either a single loop or two nested +loops. It then creates a new string of IR by running optimization passes over +the original IR. Currently, it only runs a loop-vectorize pass but more passes +can easily be added to the fuzzer. Once there are two versions of the input +function (optimized and not), llvm-proto-fuzzer uses LLVM's JIT Engine to +compile both functions. Lastly, it runs both functions on a suite of inputs and +checks that both functions behave the same on all inputs. In this way, +llvm-proto-fuzzer can find not only compiler crashes, but also miscompiles +originating from LLVM's optimization passes. + +llvm-proto-fuzzer is built very similarly to clang-proto-fuzzer. You can run the +fuzzer with the following command: + bin/clang-llvm-proto-fuzzer CORPUS_DIR + +To translate a cxx_loop_proto file into LLVM IR do: + bin/clang-loop-proto-to-llvm +To translate a cxx_loop_proto file into C++ do: + bin/clang-loop-proto-to-cxx + +Note: To get a higher number of executions per second with llvm-proto-fuzzer it +helps to build it without ASan instrumentation and with the -O2 flag. Because +the fuzzer is not only compiling code, but also running it, as the inputs get +large, the time necessary to fuzz one input can get very high.
