I'd probably agree with Joel here.
If we are going to have a distinction between trace and debug flags, then
I'd rather see us literally have two settings..."--trace-flags" and
"--debug-flags" as well as "trace-start" and "debug-start".
If/when the true debug flags come, this would make a clear d
I think the reason those wouldn't be renamed is that you're only
outputing something you could put in a file (in the traditional sense)
if you're tracing. If you're turning on/off some other functionality
like a debug breakpoint you're not tracing, you're debugging. It gets a

Hey guys,
I wasn't sure what the intended outcome with tracing v. debugging was
going to be. It sounds like the move is to "debug" as a more general term,
though it will support all of the "trace" functionality. In that case, my
confusion arose from the naming of the flags. Since "trace-file"

It looks like the tracing ("debug") functionality is now working again,
but the M5 help message is still incorrect (and extremely misleading). For
instance, "trace-flags", and "trace-file" are still accepted, but they don't
do anything now. They should be eliminated from the message.
