Is there an equivalent of GDB for GCC for debugging when compiling with CLANG?

Question

I have found that you can debug with GDB when compiling with GCC however at our university we are required to use CLANG for compiling and I can't find an equivalent of GDB for GCC for CLANG, is there one?

Solution 1

LLDB appears to be the equivalent debugger for CLANG. Here are some links I found on learning LLDB and the equivalent commands for LLDB from GDB.

The example in my edit worked for me, but I don't really know if that's what you are supposed to do. I might just be trying out Cunningham's Law here.
