The fuzzer project is to extend an existing C fuzzer (such as csmith
or yarpgen) with gcc language extensions and use that to test the compiler
Tasks:
- evaluate existing fuzzer sources for suitable base
- study gcc documentation and other references for suitable language
extensions to implement (e.g. openmp or transactions or vector extensions)
- implement a suitable subset of extensions in one of the fuzzers
- validate fuzzer output is valid code (that's the hard part)
- run fuzzer against compiler and report bugs
