Nobody had time to look into it since Summer or so it as far as I know. My main problem with LLDB right now is that it does not even pretend to play nicely in the cross-platform area (today it did e.g. not link on Linux, and yes, I am trying fairly regularly) so going with LLDB on Mac essentially would mean spending quite some effort to replace one single-platform solution with another single-platform solution. Not exactly an attractive proposition, even I understand that we'd probably need to do it at some point anyway, at least when the iOS port is maturing. > I noticed that the latest version of Creator (2.6.1) has the option to > use LLDB as a debugger per-kit. > But if I try to launch a LLVM-built > executable in debug mode, it just hangs.

I am not aware of any open show-stoppers in JIRA right now, and in the admittedly rare cases where I use it it appears to work. But functionality-wise it's certainly not on par with GDB-on-something-like-Fedora. Feel invited to have a look at the issue yourself and/or help to spread the word that being cross-platform helps adoption.
