Was this something you were typing at a "(gdb)" prompt? If not, it sounds like your software is using GDB commands instead of using the actual MI commands and the best solutions is to fix your software to actually use the MI commands instead of sending GDB command interpreter commands.

I believe there is some way to send a gdb command line command, so if you have a "(gdb) " prompt, and we will pass the command along to LLDB.

So check if your IDE is not actually using MI. Your IDE shouldn't send a "continue" GDB command interpreter command, but it should send an "exec-continue" MI packet since you are using MI. Don't sent a "n" packet, but send a "exec-next" packet. Etc...

Let me know what your IDE is doing.
