Hi Lei,

Thank you for your detailed instruction. Now we do like that. And,
another question, I think there are actually only 88 stand-alone
utilities in coreutils, unless considering "false" or "test/[" as
stand-alone. I skipped "dir", "vdir", "ginstall", "groups", "sha*sum",
"false", and only test one of the "test" and "[" pair. Should I consider
"false" or "test/[" as stand-alone?
You need to consider ginstall. But you need to skip arch, which as we mention in the paper is just a wrapper for uname -m. I updated the Coreutils experiments webpage with the list of the 89 utilities that we considered.

Besides, how did you modify the buffer used by "sort"? Thank you very much!
I've just looked, and we changed
#define INPUT_FILE_SIZE_GUESS (1024 * 1024)
to
#define INPUT_FILE_SIZE_GUESS 1024

Looking over our archives, I noticed two more changes that we had to do during our experiments: (1) We had to change some _exit calls during replay, since otherwise gcov will not record any coverage on those paths. Of course, note that this is a problem when you run the manual test suite too (and gcov in general) (2) We had to disable buffered I/O, as otherwise the sequence of system calls issued by some programs is nondeterministic, which is a problem in failure mode.

I will try to document these issues -- and any other I encounter while looking at our archives -- on the KLEE website as soon as I get a chance.

BTW, I remember you mentioned a patch that addresses the issues you encountered while running KLEE with more recent versions of LLVM (incl. 2.9)? It would be great if you could contribute it to the mainline.

Best,
Cristian
