This is an LLVM-based implementation of the n-gram branch coverage proposed in the paper "Be Sensitive and Collaborative: Analzying Impact of Coverage Metrics in Greybox Fuzzing", by Jinghan Wang, et. al.
Note that the original implementation (available here) is built on top of AFL's QEMU mode. This is essentially a port that uses LLVM vectorized instructions to achieve the same results when compiling source code.
The size of n (i.e., the number of branches to remember) is an option
that is specified in the AFL_LLVM_NGRAM_SIZE environment variable.
Good values are 2, 4 or 8.
