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.
