update/fix documentation #8

Closed vanhauser-thc closed 4 years ago

vanhauser-thc commented 4 years ago

stock AFL will not be able to instrument the resulting asm.s file as afl-as will ignore it if the file does not reside in /tmp:

[!] WARNING: No instrumentation targets found (pass-thru mode).

... so I added a new environment variable in afl++ that ignores this check and then it easily compiles and is instrumented :-)

Updated the README to reflect this plus I put an early target requirement section in that gives the caveat. drop that if you dont want that.

Thanks for contributing! I'm merging my changes with the additional documentation after this PR.
