Integrate Slipcover to Atheris about atheris HOT 2 OPEN

Thanks for the suggestion!

Although this library seems nice, using it would also seem to represent a major change to Atheris as a significant portion of our codebase is devoted to patching Python bytecode. Julian and I can consider this more seriously when we start planning for next year as it could be beneficial, however more analysis is required to show that it would be worth the effort.

Just out of curiosity, what led to this suggestion? I don't see your name on the UMass PLASMA website - are you somehow affiliated with this project via another way?

Thanks for explanation. Anyway, final decision is totally up to you. However, I believe it would be nice to reuse existed projects and join common efforts.

I'm not affiliated with PLASMA group. I'm building my own fuzzing engine for another scripting language (Lua) and Atheris is one of the reference implementations which inspires me, another one is Jazzer.js.
