Fuzz Testing: Add Support for a New Programming Languages

Adding support for a new programming language is simple; just follow these steps:

1. Goto the lang directory:
   • Add a file named with the following pattern: language-file-extension.sh e.g. for the Pascal programming language, the file should be named: pas.sh
   • The file is a shell script that contains two functions; one for compilation and one for execution of a task (see Language Module). With $1 the source is passed as a parameter to the compiler.
   • The next step includes the addition of the language to the languages.sh file in the same directory. The process is simple; just append the source code suffix at the end of the language list.
   • Add the Language to the ourlangs file in the same directory.
2. Goto to the tasks directory:
   • Add for all tasks the implementation for the new language e.g. for the AccumFactory task, for the Pascal programming language, one should add the AccumFactory.pas file.

Language Module for Pascal

compile_pas()
{
    pascal-compiler $1
}

run_pas()
{
    ./<executable> <params>
}
