# Setting up fuzzers for a new library
Fuzzer build configurations are placed into a top-level directory for the
library in the [oss-fuzz repo] on GitHub. For example, fuzzers for the expat
library go into <https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/tree/master/expat>.
## Prerequisites
[Install Docker].
*NOTE: Docker images can consume significant disk space. Run*
*[docker-cleanup](https://gist.github.com/mikea/d23a839cba68778d94e0302e8a2c200f)*
*periodically to garbage collect unused images.*
Building fuzzers requires building your library with a fresh of
Clang compiler and special compiler flags. An easy-to-use Docker image is
provided to simplify tool distribution.
If you'd like to get more familiar with how building libFuzzer-style fuzzers work in
general, check out [this page](http://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html).
## Overview
To add a new OSS library to oss-fuzz, 3 supporting files have to be added to oss-fuzz source code repository:
* `library_name/Dockerfile` - defines an container environment with all the dependencies needed to build the project and the fuzzer.
* `library_name/build.sh` - build script that will be executed inside the container.
* `library_name/Jenkinsfile` - will be needed to integrate fuzzers with ClusterFuzz build and distributed execution system.
Specify your library VCS location in it.
To create a new directory for the library and *automatically generate* these 3 files a python script can be used:
```bash
$ cd /path/to/oss-fuzz
$ export LIB_NAME=name_of_the_library
$ python scripts/helper.py generate $LIB_NAME
```
Create a fuzzer and add it to the *library_name/* directory as well.
## Dockerfile
This is the Docker image definition that build.sh will be executed in.
It is very simple for most libraries:
```bash
FROM ossfuzz/base-libfuzzer # base image with clang toolchain
MAINTAINER YOUR_EMAIL # each file should have a maintainer
RUN apt-get install -y ... # install required packages to build a project
COPY build.sh /src/ # install build script for the project.
```
Expat example: [expat/Dockerfile](../expat/Dockerfile)
## build.sh
This is where most of the work is done to build fuzzers for your library. The script will
be executed within an image built from a `Dockerfile`.
In general, this script will need to:
1. Build the library using its build system *with* correct compiler and its flags provided as *environment variables* (see below).
2. Build the fuzzers, linking with the library and libFuzzer. Built fuzzers
should be placed in `/out`.
For expat, this looks like:
```bash
#!/bin/bash -eu
cd /src/expat/expat
./buildconf.sh
# configure scripts usually use correct environment variables.
./configure
make clean all
# build the fuzzer, linking with libFuzzer and libexpat.a
$CXX $CXXFLAGS -std=c++11 -Ilib/ \
/src/oss-fuzz/expat/parse_fuzzer.cc -o /out/expat_parse_fuzzer \
/work/libfuzzer/*.o .libs/libexpat.a \
$LDFLAGS
```
### build.sh Script Environment
When build.sh script is executed, the following locations are available within the image:
| Path | Description
| ------ | -----
| `/src/$LIB_NAME` | Source code for your library.
| `/src/oss-fuzz` | Checked out oss-fuzz source tree.
| `/work/libfuzzer/*.o` | Prebuilt libFuzzer object files that need to be linked into all fuzzers.
You *must* use special compiler flags to build your library and fuzzers.
These flags are provided in following environment variables:
| Env Variable | Description
| ------------- | --------
| `$CC` | The C compiler binary.
| `$CXX`, `$CCC` | The C++ compiler binary.
| `$CFLAGS` | C compiler flags.
| `$CXXFLAGS` | C++ compiler flags.
| `$LDFLAGS` | Linker flags for fuzzer binaries.
Many well-crafted build scripts will automatically use these variables. If not,
passing them manually to a build tool might be required.
## Create Fuzzer Source File
Create a new .cc file, define a `LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput` function and call
your library:
```c++
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdint.h>
extern "C" int LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput(const uint8_t* data, size_t size) {
// put your fuzzing code here and use data+size as input.
return 0;
}
```
There are [lots](../libxml2/libxml2_xml_read_memory_fuzzer.cc)
[of](../expat/parse_fuzzer.cc) [examples](../zlib/zlib_uncompress_fuzzer.cc)
in this project repository.
### Dictionaries and custom libfuzzer options
Any top-level files in the library directory ending with the extension ".dict"
or ".options" will be picked up by ClusterFuzz. Files ending with ".dict" are
assumed to be libFuzzer compatible [dictionaries], and .options files have the
format:
```
[libfuzzer]
dict = dictionary_name.dict
max_len = 9001
```
This means that `-dict=/path/to/dictionary_name.dict` and `-max_len=9001` will
be passed to the fuzzer when it's run.
### Others (e.g. fuzzer source)
For some libraries, the upstream repository will contain fuzzers (e.g.
freetype2). In other cases, such as expat, we can check in fuzzer source into
the oss-fuzz repo.
## Jenkinsfile
This file will be largely the same for most libraries, and is used by our build
infrastructure. For expat, this is:
```groovy
// load libFuzzer pipeline definition.
def libfuzzerBuild = fileLoader.fromGit('infra/libfuzzer-pipeline.groovy',
'https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz.git')
libfuzzerBuild {
git = "git://git.code.sf.net/p/expat/code_git"
}
```
Simply replace the the "git" entry with the correct git url for the library.
*Note*: only git is supported right now.
## Testing locally
Helper script can be used to build images and fuzzers. Non-script
version using docker commands directly is documented [here](building_running_fuzzers_external.md).
```bash
$ cd /path/to/oss-fuzz
$ python scripts/helper.py build_image $LIB_NAME
$ python scripts/helper.py build_fuzzers $LIB_NAME
```
This should place the built fuzzers into `/path/to/oss-fuzz/build/out/$LIB_NAME`
on your machine (`/out` in the container). You can then try to run these fuzzers
inside the container to make sure that they work properly:
```bash
$ python scripts/helper.py run_fuzzer $LIB_NAME name_of_a_fuzzer
```
If everything works locally, then it should also work on our automated builders
and ClusterFuzz.
## Debugging Problems
[Debugging](debugging.md) document lists ways to debug your build scripts or fuzzers
in case you run into problems.

## The end
Once your change is merged, the fuzzers should be automatically built and run on
ClusterFuzz after a short while!
