Hi all,

Currently our builds using Mozilla-TWQA's B2G Flash Tool [1] flash only opt
builds.

How useful do developers think it would be to have debug eng builds as well?
[2] This will enable assertions and probably make it easier to debug
gaia-ui-tests, as well as look out for seccomp violations.

Also, it would be nice to have ASan support [3] for Firefox OS to help find
security issues. That being said, Valgrind support is underway, but I could
find some work at Github [4] from some months back.

I've been using a debug build on my Nexus 5 for a few days now and
it's surprisingly stable.

Not sure how useful the builds are to people without symbols though.

I've been using them recently as well. It would definitely be nice if we provided builds, but as Kyle noted we should probably provide the symbols as well.

+1 for ASan (and it's buddy LSan). I believe we'll need to update to a newer version of GCC (support was added in 4.8.0) to be able to enable it. I seem to recall a discussion about using a more modern GCC, but I'm not sure what came of that.
