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 |
|---|---|
| dev-lang/crystal | Build each module as a separate object file. Speeds build up. |
| 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 |
| app-arch/innoextract | Enable debug logging and the --debug command-line option |
| app-editors/nano | Enable debug messages and assert warnings. Note that these will all be sent straight to stderr rather than some logging facility. |
| dev-libs/libevent | Support for running in debug mode |
| app-portage/eix | Build with upstream's CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS for debugging support; not recommended for normal use. |
| x11-misc/albert | Enable debugging informations |
| 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. |
| app-emulation/ski | enable extra binary emulation debugging via sys-libs/binutils-libs |
| app-i18n/librime | Enable debugging (including logging of input of RIME input methods) |
| app-misc/rlwrap | Enable debug |
| dev-haskell/chaselev-deque | Enable the extra internal checks. |
| net-misc/stargazer | Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. |
| dev-haskell/pandoc-citeproc | Turn on debug tracing. |
| 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 |
| net-vpn/wireguard-modules | Enable verbose debug reporting in dmesg of various WireGuard peer and device information. |
| dev-java/jfreesvg | Enable debugging during compilation. |
| 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> |
| dev-tcltk/expect-lite | pull in packages needed for runtime interactive debugger |
| dev-libs/boost | Build and install only the debug version of the Boost libraries. Only enable this flag if you're developing against boost. |
| games-emulation/zsnes | Enable the builtin debugger |
| sci-mathematics/agda | Enable debugging features that may slow Agda down. |
| dev-perl/perl-headers | Add source locations in generated .ph files to assist with debugging when errors occur |
| dev-libs/openct | Add debug output to the driver library for pcsc-lite. |
| net-misc/ptpd | Enable debugging informations |
| 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-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 ;) |
| media-tv/mythtv | Instructs Qt to use the 'debug' target |
| 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-misc/chrony | Get DEBUG_LOG output from chronyd when passing -dd parameter |
| net-mail/vchkuser | Enables debug messages to syslog |
| app-cdr/dvdisaster | Enable memory debugging. |
| x11-wm/e16 | Build libtrip debugging library |
| sys-apps/timer_entropyd | Enable printf debugging and logging to the syslog at DEBUG level |
| sys-auth/pambase | Enable debug information logging on syslog(3) for all the modules supporting this in the system authentication and system login stacks. |
| sys-kernel/dracut | Module installing additional tools like strace, file editor, ssh and more |
| sys-libs/glibc | When USE=hardened, allow fortify/stack violations to dump core (SIGABRT) and not kill self (SIGKILL) |
| www-servers/monkeyd | Enable lots of debugging info |
