[swift-users] Swift 4.0 LLDBFrontend Crash

Specifying the clang import location is what is triggering the LLDBFrontend
crash.
I think you are saying that I should not need to specify the clang include
import location to the compiler.

I've attached the unmodified SwiftProtobuf example program found in the
docs at https://github.com/apple/swift-protobuf.git, so this is independent
from my project.

Are you able to simply do "swift build" and successfully debug and examine
values like "info"?
For me it fails unless I also specify the import location for the clang
include directory.

swift build -I/home/ed/swift/usr/lib/swift/clang/include

And yes I checked, I am picking up the correct swift binary
