Not sure about this, but isn't this something that could be integrated into rustc (or cargo at least) to be something ready to use as bench/test?



This is what I'm striving for:

    #[fuzz]
    fn test_fuzz(bytes: Vec<u8>) {
        ...
    }
This would live alongside other test cases and everytime fuzzing is desired, one could just do `cargo fuzz`. Relevant issues and a pull request:

There's still a little more work to do though. Mainly, I want to compile AFL as a part of the workflow (see the afl-sys crate in the repo) so the user doesn't need to manually install AFL to use `cargo fuzz`.


Also worth mentioning the Rust library 'quickcheck' that does something similar to what you're suggesting:
