god I wish this would build on cygwin

Running Windows as guest instead of as host OS has made my life significantly easier. The sole exception used to be games, but that's getting better, too.

honggfuzz (http://honggfuzz.com) will run under cygwin - it uses similar algorithms (feedback driven by code coverage metrics), and last time I checked it under CygWin it worked with clang's -fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc modes well.

why? the peformance hit on VM's isn't that big, if you really care why don't you just run one? 7 hours or 27 isn't that huge of a difference in the grand scope of things . . .

Maybe they want to run it on a Windows app.

Oh, right. For some reason I thought they just wanted to follow along with the example but of course this makes more sense.
