What was the reason to get rid of DBUG? During the years I have found DBUG very helpful to debug situations where a debugger is of no use, and even built an analogue to debug the mysql native driver for PHP. You can't ask an user to debug your app, but at least to run the app with the trace log enabled you can. It can be too much noise there but the truth can also lie there.

There are a number of similarly supported libraries out there that do the same/but do more.

DBUG kept a lot of state that made it a bit of a PIA.

It was also very inconsistent. It got used all over the place as a smart printf() with no reason to why some functions were instrumented and some where not.

Cheers,
