Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
| Package | “debug” Flag Description |
|---|---|
| net-misc/chrony | Get DEBUG_LOG output from chronyd when passing -dd parameter |
| net-misc/ptpd | Enable debugging informations |
| app-arch/innoextract | Enable debug logging and the --debug command-line option |
| app-emulation/ski | enable extra binary emulation debugging via sys-libs/binutils-libs |
| dev-lang/crystal | Build each module as a separate object file. Speeds build up. |
| dev-haskell/pandoc-citeproc | Turn on debug tracing. |
| dev-libs/boost | Build and install only the debug version of the Boost libraries. Only enable this flag if you're developing against boost. |
| dev-perl/perl-headers | Add source locations in generated .ph files to assist with debugging when errors occur |
| dev-util/google-perftools | Build a set of libraries with debug support (so-called debugalloc). These are available by default but are not needed unless you're actually developing using tcmalloc. |
| games-emulation/zsnes | Enable the builtin debugger |
| dev-haskell/chaselev-deque | Enable the extra internal checks. |
| app-misc/rlwrap | Enable debug |
| dev-java/jfreesvg | Enable debugging during compilation. |
| www-servers/monkeyd | Enable lots of debugging info |
| sys-libs/glibc | When USE=hardened, allow fortify/stack violations to dump core (SIGABRT) and not kill self (SIGKILL) |
| x11-misc/albert | Enable debugging informations |
| app-editors/nano | Enable debug messages and assert warnings. Note that these will all be sent straight to stderr rather than some logging facility. |
| net-misc/stargazer | Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. |
| dev-libs/libevent | Support for running in debug mode |
| app-i18n/librime | Enable debugging (including logging of input of RIME input methods) |
| sys-process/fcron | Enable debug code and output. Since version 3.0.5 this will no longer force foreground execution, and fcron will be able to run as a service properly. |
| net-vpn/wireguard-modules | Enable verbose debug reporting in dmesg of various WireGuard peer and device information. |
| sci-libs/dealii | Build an additional debug library with extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see <http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml> |
| sci-mathematics/agda | Enable debugging features that may slow Agda down. |
| sys-apps/timer_entropyd | Enable printf debugging and logging to the syslog at DEBUG level |
| app-portage/eix | Build with upstream's CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS for debugging support; not recommended for normal use. |
| dev-lang/spidermonkey | Enable assertions to allow for easier debugging of programs that link to spidermonkey -- note this will often crash software on regular end-user systems |
| dev-tcltk/expect-lite | pull in packages needed for runtime interactive debugger |
| dev-libs/openct | Add debug output to the driver library for pcsc-lite. |
| games-action/dxx-rebirth | Enable various debugging code paths and sanity checks, not just output. Some of these checks date back to the retail build, and choke on some custom levels because the game was never coded to sufficiently distrust inputs |
| media-tv/mythtv | Instructs Qt to use the 'debug' target |
| net-mail/vchkuser | Enables debug messages to syslog |
| net-wireless/spectools | Build the raw output client for spectools. (for developers) |
| sys-auth/pam_u2f | Enable debug messages using the pam logging macros. |
| sys-auth/pambase | Enable debug information logging on syslog(3) for all the modules supporting this in the system authentication and system login stacks. |
| app-cdr/dvdisaster | Enable memory debugging. |
| sys-block/parted | Enable debugging as encouraged by upstream: [The default configuration] includes --enable-debug (by default), which contains many assertions. Obviously, these "waste" space, but in the past, they have caught potentially dangerous bugs before they would have done damage, so we think it's worth it. Also, it means we get more bug reports ;) |
| sys-kernel/dracut | Module installing additional tools like strace, file editor, ssh and more |
| x11-wm/e16 | Build libtrip debugging library |
