[Qt-creator] LLDB support

[Daniel Price]

I'm also desperate for LLDB support in QtCreator, or at a least some kind of patch for GDB.

I'm using Creator with the clang compiler and Qt 4.8 and the GDB debugger is next to useless, so much so that it's waste of time just firing it up. The helpers don't work, POD and non-POD stack symbols are reported as 'optimized out' (even though I've disabled all optimizations), stack frames are mysteriously skipped and breakpoints jump around randomly.

More recently, I've noticed that Creator will hang as it alternates between two breakpoints in code, the margin indicators flashing madly.

I don't buy that Apple's old version of GDB is to blame here as I've used it via XCode and the terminal for non Qt projects and it works well enough. It used to work 'OK' with Qt but since 4.6 it's been a disaster (a LOT of Mac-specific regressions were introduced in that release).

I don't have the ability to re-build Creator myself so If someone could provide LLDB support in the form of pre-build plugin I would be very grateful.
