Description

I built a harness for WinAFL and I’m currently using it with WinAFL. Now I want to use the same harness with Jackalope. Can I reuse it without changing anything in the code?

What I mean is: does Jackalope have the same structure as WinAFL? Since I already built a harness for WinAFL and want to use it with Jackalope, can I do that directly, or will I need to modify it?
