That's not a debugger though; that's a compiler.

All of the debuggers I've seen are line based with the option of single stepping through assembly.

Hopefully the LLDB people will be able to modernize debugging to the degree that the clang guys have modernized error messages, but that still remains to be seen.

Given that LLVM is way behind on producing good debug info compared to GCC, i don't think LLDB is going to improve as quick as one would like.
