# C Sample This shows a simple persistent harness for unicornafl in C. In contrast to the normal c harness, this harness manually resets the unicorn state on each new input. Thanks to this, you can rerun the test case in unicorn multiple times, without the need to fork again. ## Compiling sample.c The target can be built using the `make` command. Just make sure you have built unicorn support first: ```bash cd /path/to/afl/unicorn_mode ./build_unicorn_support.sh ``` ## Compiling persistent_target.c You don't need to compile persistent_target.c since a X86_64 binary version is pre-built and shipped in this sample folder. This file documents how the binary was built in case you want to rebuild it or recompile it for any reason. The pre-built binary (persistent_target_x86_64.bin) was built using -g -O0 in gcc. Then load the binary and execute the main function directly.
