libiberty demangler fuzzer

I wrote a quick fuzzer for libiberty’s demangler this morning. Here’s how to get and use it:

$ mkdir workdir
$ cd workdir
$ git clone git@github.com:gbenson/binutils-gdb.git src
  ...
$ cd src
$ git co demangler
$ cd ..
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ CFLAGS="-g -O0" ../src/configure --with-separate-debug-dir=/usr/lib/debug
  ...
$ make
  ...
$ ../src/fuzzer.sh 
  ...
+ /home/gary/workdir/build/fuzzer
../src/fuzzer.sh: line 12: 22482 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) $fuzzer
# copy the executable and PID from the two lines above
$ gdb -batch /home/gary/workdir/build/fuzzer core.22482 -ex "bt"
...
Core was generated by `/home/gary/workdir/build/fuzzer'.

The symbol that crashed it is one frame up from the bottom of the backtrace.
