[lldb-dev] Reading eValueTypeLoadAddress with missing compiler type

[Greg Clayton via lldb-dev]

A DW_TAG_subprogram's usually has a DW_AT_frame_base DWARF expression that describes where the frame is. That evaluates to something and doesn't require any type. I am guessing you now have a variable that is relative to that frame base and that variable's type is not valid. This can be due to many reasons, most likely is the compiler may have redacted your type when trying to save space. Can you confirm this is what is happening?
