IOW "correct" in the > title is a bit too terse as an explanation for this change. Sorry for being too vague. The problem with only including FUZZ_CXXFLAGS is that all the .c files need to be compiled with coverage tracking enabled, not just the fuzzer itself. The motivation for splitting CFLAGS and FUZZ_CXXFLAGS in the first place was to enable OSS-Fuzz (and others) to include C++-specific flags without causing a ton of compiler warnings when those are applied to the .c files. So OSS-Fuzz sets both CFLAGS and FUZZ_CXXFLAGS when building. We could fix the comment by setting both CFLAGS and FUZZ_CXXFLAGS, but since we're not including any C++-specific flags there's no reason to set both. I'll fix the commit message in v6.
