MUtation analySIs tool with high Configurability and extensibility MUSIC

Install Clang/LLVM 16

MUSIC is built on top of Clang/LLVM so the first step is to get a working LLVM installation. See Getting Started with the LLVM System for more information.

If you are using a recent Ubuntu (e.g. 20.04 LTS), we recommend you to use the LLVM packages provided by LLVM itself. Use LLVM Package Repository to add the appropriate line to your /etc/apt/sources.list. As an example, for Ubuntu 20.04, the following lines should be added:

deb http://apt.llvm.org/focal/ llvm-toolchain-focal-16 main
deb-src http://apt.llvm.org/focal/ llvm-toolchain-focal-16 main

Then add the repository key and install the Clang/LLVM 16 packages:

$ wget -O - https://apt.llvm.org/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key|sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-get update 
$ sudo apt-get install clang-16 clang-tools-16 clang-16-doc libclang-common-16-dev libclang-16-dev libclang1-16 clang-format-16 python3-clang-16 libllvm-16-ocaml-dev libllvm16 llvm-16 llvm-16-dev llvm-16-doc llvm-16-examples llvm-16-runtime

Compile

Before compilation of MUSIC, clang v16 should be installed.

The current version of MUSIC has only been tested to compile and run successfully on clang v16, Linux x86-64.

After install and build clang, if necessary, you can edit llvm build directory specification in the following line of Makefile

LLVM_BUILD_PATH := /usr/lib/llvm-16
LLVM_BIN_PATH := $(LLVM_BUILD_PATH)/bin

LLVM_BUILD_PATH are directories containing llvm build.

LLVM_BIN_PATH is directory containing executables (ex. clang-16, llvm-config, ...)

In short, according to the current Makefile:

/usr/lib/llvm-16 is the directory of the llvm build.

/usr/lib/llvm-16/bin is the directory containing bin folder with all the executables.

Compile using make to produce MUSIC executable.

MUSIC Options

./music inputfilename1 [inputfilename2 ...] [option ...]

-o option

Usage:

-o <directory>

Used to specify output directory (absolute path). The directory must exist.

Default is current directory.

-p option

Usage:

-p <path-to-compile_commands.json>

Used to specify the compilation database file.

Default is none so target file will be compiled with macro definitions, include directories, and so on

Add -- at the end of the command if you want to apply MUSIC to target file without compilation database file.

-l option

Usage:

-l <int>

Used to specify the maximum number of mutants generated at a mutation location by a mutant operator.

Default is generate all mutants possible.

-rs -re option

Usage:

-rs <filename>:<line>[:<col>] -re <filename>:<line>[:<col>]			

Used to specify the range where mutation operators can be applied.

Default is start of input file for –rs and end of file for -re.

They do not have to go together and can be used separately (i.e. only specify -rs or -re is ok).

-x option

Usage:

-x <filename>:<line1>[,<line2>,...]

Used to specify the lines which will not be mutated in a target file.

Default is null so all lines in target file are subject to mutation.

-x is prioritized over -rs and -re. A line specified by -x option will be excluded even if it is in mutation range.

-m option

Usage:

-m mutation_operator_name[:domain[:range]]

Used to specify the mutation operator(s) to apply.

Can be specified multiple times.

Elements in domain, range must be separated by comma.

Output

In the output directory (absolute path), there will be mutant files for each mutant and mutant database file named inputfilename_mut_db.
