-# Going beyond crashes
-
-Fuzzing is a wonderful and underutilized technique for discovering non-crashing
-design and implementation errors, too. Quite a few interesting bugs have been
-found by modifying the target programs to call abort() when say:
-
-  - Two bignum libraries produce different outputs when given the same
-    fuzzer-generated input,
-
-  - An image library produces different outputs when asked to decode the same
-    input image several times in a row,
-
-  - A serialization / deserialization library fails to produce stable outputs
-    when iteratively serializing and deserializing fuzzer-supplied data,
-
-  - A compression library produces an output inconsistent with the input file
-    when asked to compress and then decompress a particular blob.
-
-Implementing these or similar sanity checks usually takes very little time;
-if you are the maintainer of a particular package, you can make this code
-conditional with `#ifdef FUZZING_BUILD_MODE_UNSAFE_FOR_PRODUCTION` (a flag also
-shared with libfuzzer and honggfuzz) or `#ifdef __AFL_COMPILER` (this one is
-just for AFL).
