error: need to add support for DW_TAG_base_type encoded with DW_ATE = 0x5, bit_size = 0 Seems like the bit_size is read incorrectly. DW_ATE = 0x5 is for DW_ATE_signed Happens when printing a backtrace, neither dwarfdump nor readelf report show any byte_size of 0.

Seems to Töne since updating lldb.

it's still happening in lldb error: need to add support for DW_TAG_base_type 'immutable(char)' encoded with DW_ATE = 0x10, bit_size = 8 this msg appears at the start of a lldb session (eg when using fr v for 1st time)

The bug Martin reported is gone. The bug you are referring to Timothee was an LLDB bug which was fixed in v11 (https://reviews.llvm.org/D79559).
