// This library defines the concepts "fuzzing feature" and "feature domain".
// It is used by Centipede, and it can be used by fuzz runners to
// define their features in a way most friendly to Centipede.
// Fuzz runners do not have to use this file nor to obey the rules defined here.
// But using this file and following its rules is the simplest way if you want
// Centipede to understand the details about the features generated by the
// runner.
//
// This library must not depend on anything other than libc so that fuzz targets
// using it doesn't gain redundant coverage. For the same reason this library
// uses raw __builtin_trap instead of CHECKs.
// We make an exception for <algorithm> for std::sort/std::unique,
// since <algorithm> is very lightweight.
// This library is also header-only, with all functions defined as inline.

// Notes on Designing Features and Domains
//
// Abstractly, a "feature" signals that there was something interesting about
// the input that Centipede should keep investigating. After seeing a particular
// feature occur often enough, Centipede will become less interested.
//
// Generally, different types of features should be put in different domains.
// This is useful for two reasons. First, Centipede can display the feature
// count for each domain separately. Second, Centipede calculates features
// weights relative to the size of the domain. If two different types of
// features are squeezed into the same domain, an overabundance of one type of
// feature can cause the other type of feature to be undervalued.
//
// The number of features can fit inside a particular domain is finite (see
// kDomainSize). A feature outside that range will be mapped inside that range.
// If the space of all possible features is larger than kDomainSize, it is
// recommended that the feature value is hashed as it is calculated. Feature
// spaces typically have some sort of internal structure and mapping a
// structured feature space into kDomainSize via a modulus can create
// predictable aliasing. Hashing the feature value reduces the worst case effect
// of the feature aliasing. If hashing, it is also recommended that the domain
// is defined in such a way so that the number of features actually discovered
// in that domain stays below a fraction of kDomainSize, even if the number of
// possible features is huge. The more feature aliasing that occurs in practice,
// the less effective the domain.
