Ok, there has been a lot of confusion about debug flags and trace flags. I changed the way the flags stuff worked from a compile perspective which required me to make changes throughout the tree, so I took the opportunity to rename the trace flags to debug flags. The idea behind the change was that the flags can be used for things other than tracing (I use them for breakpoints) and there is only one namespace, so I just renamed it to debug (people did review that change).
So, I renamed --trace-flags to --debug-flags and --trace-flags-help to --debug-flags-help. --trace-start, --trace-file, and --trace-ignore stayed the same because those only affect the tracing portion of the debugging stuff. I never renamed the TraceFlags SCons option to DebugFlags. So, how do we clear up the confusion? Should I just fix the SCons thing and people will just learn? Should I change the name back? (There are a ton of places where this would change). Anyone care?
