[klee-dev] Query about searcher.cpp file

[Thuan Pham]

Hi Shaila,
To know which search strategy is chosen, you can check the file "info"
generated by KLEE. If you don't specify a specific strategy (using the
--search command line option), the default one of KLEE is the interleaving
between a random path search and a weighted random search aiming to cover
new code.
Regards,
Thuan
