I use GDB to debug LLDB like: `gdb -q -ex 'set break pend on' -ex 'set 
build-id-verbose 0' -ex 'set env 
ASAN_OPTIONS=alloc_dealloc_mismatch=0:detect_leaks=0' -ex 'set env 
LD_PRELOAD=/lib64/libasan.so.5' -ex "set env 
PYTHONPATH=$PWD/lib64/python2.7/site-packages:$PWD/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/lldb"
 -ex "set env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/lib:$PWD/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/lldb" 
-iex 'set breakpoint pending on' -iex 'b __sanitizer::internal__exit' -ex 'b 
lldb_private::Module::ReportError' -ex 'b lldb_private::Host::SystemLog' -ex r 
-ex 'set scheduler-locking on' --args python 
../llvm-git/tools/lldb/test/dotest.py --executable $PWD/bin/lldb -C 
$PWD/bin/clang --log-success -t 
../llvm-git/tools/lldb/packages/Python/lldbsuite/test/  -f  
HelloWatchpointTestCase.test_hello_watchpoint_using_watchpoint_set_dwarf`

I would like to switch one day from GDB to LLDB but so far I soon face some 
issue why I cannot use  LLDB yet. It is usually some Fedora Linux port 
compatibility problem. It would be nice to just `s/gdb/lldb/` for the test 
without rewriting all the parameters only to find out there is still something 
remaining to port in LLDB to make the switch possible.

IIUC we should make a new GDB-like driver using `liblldb.so`+`SB API` for both 
GDB commandline parameters and GDB commands compatibility. For the GDB commands 
interpreter there could be a fallback to forward unknown commands to LLDB 
interpreter.
