+      Csmith is a tool that can generate random C programs that statically and
+      dynamically conform to the C99 standard. It is useful for stress-testing
+      compilers, static analyzers, and other tools that process C code.
+      Csmith has found bugs in every tool that it has tested, and has been used
+      to find and report more than 400 previously unknown compiler bugs.
