Ask HN: Could fuzzing generate code?

2 pointsby deepstreamover 6 years ago
Fuzzing can be used to find bugs. Could it be used to fix obscure bugs, bugs in complex data flows, by fuzzing over inputs? Could a fuzzing like approach be used to generate code (even code we have no chance of comprehending) that patches a n obscure bug? It seems possible. By extension could fuzzing generate code against arbitrary constraints?

Not completely off topic, but not really serious either : <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Infinite_monkey_theorem" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Infinite_monkey_theorem</a>
