*db is common nomenclature for debuggers: gdb, lldb, cdb, pdb


It's also a common suffix for databases, whereas "dbg" is unambiguous.


If I saw dbg I would have no idea what you were talking about.


"DBG" == "Debugger" is a fairly common thing.


Not to me, and have been in the field 10 years. Would be curious to see the survey results.. all I can say is 100% would not recognize it.


But usually in lowercase...
