# laf-intel instrumentation
## Usage
By default these passes will not run when you compile programs using
afl-clang-fast. Hence, you can use AFL as usual.
To enable the passes you must set environment variables before you
compile the target project.
The following options exist:
`export AFL_LLVM_LAF_SPLIT_SWITCHES=1`
Enables the split-switches pass.
`export AFL_LLVM_LAF_TRANSFORM_COMPARES=1`
Enables the transform-compares pass (strcmp, memcmp, strncmp,
strcasecmp, strncasecmp).
`export AFL_LLVM_LAF_SPLIT_COMPARES=1`
Enables the split-compares pass.
By default it will
1. simplify operators >= (and <=) into chains of > (<) and == comparisons
2. change signed integer comparisons to a chain of sign-only comparison
and unsigned comparisons
3. split all unsigned integer comparisons with bit widths of
64, 32 or 16 bits to chains of 8 bits comparisons.
You can change the behaviour of the last step by setting
`export AFL_LLVM_LAF_SPLIT_COMPARES_BITW=<bit_width>`, where
bit_width may be 64, 32 or 16.
A new experimental feature is splitting floating point comparisons into a
series of sign, exponent and mantissa comparisons followed by splitting each
of them into 8 bit comparisons when necessary.
It is activated with the `AFL_LLVM_LAF_SPLIT_FLOATS` setting, available only
when `AFL_LLVM_LAF_SPLIT_COMPARES` is set.
You can also set `AFL_LLVM_LAF_ALL` and have all of the above enabled :-)
