=========================================== Using afl++ without inlined instrumentation =========================================== This file describes how you can disable inlining of instrumentation. By default, the GCC plugin will duplicate the effects of calling __afl_trace (see afl-gcc-rt.o.c) in instrumented code, instead of issuing function calls. The calls are presumed to be slower, more so because the rt file itself is not optimized by the compiler. Setting AFL_GCC_OUT_OF_LINE=1 in the environment while compiling code with the plugin will disable this inlining, issuing calls to the unoptimized runtime instead. You probably don't want to do this, but it might be useful in certain AFL debugging scenarios, and it might work as a fallback in case something goes wrong with the inlined instrumentation.
