The description could be: Code debuggers and debugging-related tools. Potential candidates include: dev-util/ald: Assembly Language Debugger dev-util/apitrace: Tool for tracing, analyzing, and debugging graphics APIs dev-util/bpftrace: High-level tracing language for eBPF dev-util/cgdb: A curses front-end for GDB, the GNU debugger dev-util/d-feet: D-Feet is a powerful D-Bus debugger dev-util/d-spy: D-spy is a blisteringly fast D-Bus debugger dev-util/ddd: Graphical front-end for command-line debuggers dev-util/edb-debugger: edb is a cross platform x86/x86-64 debugger, inspire= d by Ollydbg dev-util/kdbg: Graphical debugger interface dev-util/leaktracer: Trace and analyze memory leaks in C++ programs dev-util/lldb: The LLVM debugger dev-util/ltrace: trace library calls made at runtime dev-util/pretrace: start dynamically linked applications under debugging en= vironment dev-util/pwndbg: A GDB plug-in that makes debugging with GDB suck less dev-util/strace: Useful diagnostic, instructional, and debugging tool dev-util/sysdig: A system exploration and troubleshooting tool dev-util/systemtap: A linux trace/probe tool dev-util/valgrind: An open-source memory debugger for GNU/Linux media-gfx/renderdoc: A stand-alone graphics debugging tool sys-devel/gdb: GNU debugger sys-devel/gdb-apple: Apple branch of the GNU Debugger, Developer Tools 4.3 This was originally prompted by bug 920438 [1], pointing out that LLDB and GDB belong to the same category. dev-util/ currently carries 428 packages, so I suppose it makes sense to split it some more, especially when we can clearly distinguish some more specific groups.
