ConfSurface

Scratching the surface of configurable systems:

• understanding how compile-time options have effects on binary size and gadget (surface attack);
• build predictor models/configurators;
• automate the exploration with variability modeling and reproducible build environment

Subject systems:

• x264 : https://github.com/ternava/x264/tree/x264-compileoptions
• nginx : https://github.com/ternava/nginx/tree/branches/nginx-conf-options
• curl : https://github.com/ternava/curl/tree/curl-compileoptions
• sqlite : https://github.com/ternava/sqlite/tree/sqlite-compileoptions
• xz : https://github.com/ternava/xz/tree/xz-compileoptions

In each project of the system there is a measures folder, which contains the used scripts and the obtained results regarding the binary size and number of gadgets in over 400 configurations.

Feature models:

• FM of x264
• FM of nginx
• FM of curl
• FM of sqlite
• FM of xz
