Question

I have a small C++ program that parses a file given as a command line argument. I want to create couple of test files and feed them to the program to make sure it does not crash when it reads malfomed files. I am looking to automate this process as I will have couple of hundred test files, either through GDB or something else.

Any tips?

Thank you

I think you can use bash or python for such scripts. For debugging you can just turn on core dump files generation and check what went wrong after the test is done.
