Can you confirm whether Jim’s suspicion is correct that you’re looking at the value before initialization? If so, it’s more of a fact of life that in C family languages there’s no way to know for certain whether a variable is initialized or just happens to contain some arbitrary uninitialized memory. LLDB is doing its best to tell you what the memory currently appears to be.
If his suspicion is not correct and you’re seeing something unexpected we would definitely want to look at this issue more closely. If that’s the case please file a bug via bugreport.apple.com. We take issues with debugger reliability very seriously.
