Fuzzing Example
###############

Overview
********

This is a simple example of fuzz test integration with Zephyr apps
that displays LLVM libfuzzer's most important feature: it's ability to
detect and explore deep and complicated call trees by exploiting
coverage information gleaned from instrumented binaries.

Building and Running
********************

Right now, the only toolchain that works with libfuzzer is a recent 64
bit clang (clang 14 was used at development time).  Make sure such a
toolchain is installed in your host environment, and build with:

.. code-block:: console

   $ clang --version
   clang version 14.0.6
   Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
   Thread model: posix
   InstalledDir: /usr/bin
   $ export ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT=llvm
   $ west build -t run -b native_posix_64 samples/subsys/debug/fuzz

Over 10-20 seconds or so (runtimes can be quite variable) you will see
it discover and recurse deeper into the test's deliberately
constructed call tree, eventually crashing when it reaches the final
state and reporting the failure.

Example output:

.. code-block:: console
