To translate a clang-proto-fuzzer corpus output to C++:

===================
llvm-proto-fuzzer
===================
Like, clang-proto-fuzzer, llvm-proto-fuzzer is also a protobuf-mutator based
fuzzer. 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 CORPUS_OUTPUT_FILE
To translate a cxx_loop_proto file into C++ do:
bin/clang-loop-proto-to-cxx CORPUS_OUTPUT_FILE

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.
Example:
cmake .. -GNinja -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ \
-DCLANG_ENABLE_PROTO_FUZZER=ON -DLLVM_USE_SANITIZE_COVERAGE=YES \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-O2"
