LLDB symtab classes are utilized for expressions as well so it is a highly likely problem so I would suggest you to investigate further on these lines

Hi Omair, is it possible that Process::CanJIT() is false?  I'm not super experienced with the expression engine in lldb, but this sounds like the llvm IR interpretation can't handle the expression (expected, in this case) and lldb isn't able to JIT the IR into code and run it.

The one thing that IR interpreter can't do is call external functions.  When I'm trying to debug something like this, I'll go as basic as possible -- something like "p (int)isdigit('1')" which requires that the expression be jitted, and debug from there.  Maybe this is specific to this C++ test case, but is it possible that all function calls are failing?
