The record

Purpose: AFL++ is a coverage-guided fuzzer that mutates input and checks whether it reaches a new path in the target binary.
Compiler instrumentation: Its central afl-cc compiler supports LTO, LLVM, and GCC_PLUGIN instrumentation modes.
Mutation and coverage: The project lists collision-free coverage, AFLfast++ power schedules, MOpt mutators, laf-intel, and redqueen among its features.
Build modes: Build targets include source-only fuzzing, binary-only fuzzing, or a distribution build with both.
Container image: The project provides a Docker image for x86_64 and arm64, with the target source mounted at /src in its example command.
Linux requirements: The installation guide recommends LLVM 18 or newer and gives LLVM 14 as the minimum.
macOS support: The guide documents building on macOS x86_64 and arm64, but says afl-clang-lto, afl-gcc-fast, and qemu_mode do not work there.
License obligations: The combined afl-fuzz program is AGPL as a whole, and modified versions offered as network services must offer users the corresponding source.
License exceptions: Individual source files marked Apache-2.0 may be reused under that license, while bundled third-party components retain their own licenses.
Hardware and storage limits: The project warns that fuzzing can strain hardware, consume large amounts of memory or disk, and generate heavy filesystem I/O.
Support: The maintainers direct users to GitHub issues for AFL++ defects, the FAQ and best practices, and the Fuzzing Zulip server.
Release channels: The stable branch is described as the stability-focused default, while dev is bleeding edge and may fail to compile or contain bugs.
