In bytecodealliance#10110, I originally intended to use `arbitrary` implementations in two ways: for long-running fuzz testing (e.g., with OSS-Fuzz) but also for quick property testing with `cargo test`. This latter use case could replace the tedious emit tests we had to write in `cranelift-codegen` _and_ find corner cases that we otherwise might not explore. It helped me during development: just run `cargo test` to check if anything is obviously wrong. `arbtest` seemed to be able to run ~1000 test cases and found mistakes well within the one second time limit I gave it. @alexcrichton improved bytecodealliance#10110 by avoiding `Arbitrary` implementations everywhere and unconditionally depending on the `arbitrary` crate. This was the right change, but it removed the ability to property test using `cargo test`. What this change does is retain the general intent of his change (no extra dependencies) but add `Arbitrary` implementations for `cfg(test)` as well to run property tests during `cargo test`. The only downside I see here is the added complexity when conditionally compiling the fuzz-related bits: `#[cfg(any(test, feature = "fuzz"))]`. Perhaps there is a better way to do this, but this seemed to work fine. Let me know what you think.

A little wonky but seems reasonable to me 👍 |
