That is not true.  ObjC and particularly Cocoa & UIKit have lots of useful functions that start with some global objects and drill down.  So it is not uncommon for folks to do "pause/run some ObjC introspection code" and pause will in general end up somewhere without debug info (often in a system trap...)  So at least for Apple lldb, ObjC++ should be the default for unknown frames.
