[lldb-dev] Reading eValueTypeLoadAddress with missing compiler type

[Greg Clayton via lldb-dev]

If you have the binary and the function that this is happening in and can share the binary that contains debug info and also share which file and function and variable is causing the issue, I might be able to tell you why this is happening.

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?
