This program is then compiled by Clang with `SanitizerCoverage +<https://releases.llvm.org/6.0.0/tools/clang/docs/SanitizerCoverage.html>`_ +instrumentation and then fuzzed using :doc:`LibFuzzer <LibFuzzer>`. + +Zig Programming Language +------------------------ + +`Zig <http://ziglang.org>`_ is an open-source programming language designed +for robustness, optimality, and clarity. It is intended to replace C. It +provides high level features such as Generics, +Compile Time Function Execution, and Partial Evaluation, yet exposes low level +LLVM IR features such as Aliases. Zig uses Clang to provide automatic +import of .h symbols - even inline functions and macros. Zig uses LLD combined +with lazily building compiler-rt to provide out-of-the-box cross-compiling for +all supported targets. + +LDC - the LLVM-based D compiler +------------------------------- + +`D <http://dlang.org>`_ is a language with C-like syntax and static typing. It +pragmatically combines efficiency, control, and modeling power, with safety and +programmer productivity. D supports powerful concepts like Compile-Time Function +Execution (CTFE) and Template Meta-Programming, provides an innovative approach +to concurrency and offers many classical paradigms. +`LDC <http://wiki.dlang.org/LDC>`_ uses the frontend from the reference compiler +combined with LLVM as backend to produce efficient native code. LDC targets +x86/x86_64 systems like Linux, OS X, FreeBSD and Windows and also Linux on ARM +and PowerPC (32/64 bit). Ports to other architectures like AArch64 and MIPS64 +are underway.
