LLDB was made the default debugger for new projects with Xcode 4.3. Xcode 4.3 also suggests switching to LLDB for existing projects (but you can disable that suggestion).
> (2) Does this mean LLDB is ready for prime time? The last time I tried to use LLDB it seemed to have a fairly deficient understanding of my code (e.g., it knew nothing of instance variables, kind of a key concept). Also it was missing some features, such as watchpoints.
LLDB was greatly enhanced in Xcode 4.3. If you've tried it in the past and found it lacking, now would be a good time to give it another try. Does it have bugs? Sure, but so does GDB - And unlike Apple's implementation of GDB, LLDB is in active development. If you run into any issues, please file bug reports!
