Where is LLDB in the Visual Studio 2019 clang extension?

Visual Studio comes with built-in clang support that can be enabled when installing. I have installed that support and now have all the clang executables in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\Llvm\x64\bin.

I'm not using Visual Studio for development but just its clang build chain, I'm using CLion instead. Building works fine, but I have trouble debugging. I cannot debug, even though CLion says that it uses the "Bundled LLDB"; something just seems to go wrong, but CLion doesn't tell me what.

I have the suspicion that it somehow chose the wrong LLDB, so I wanted to check whether I can debug in the shell. But then I realized, that I am unable to locate that "bundled LLDB" CLion is mentioning. There is no lldb.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\Llvm\x64\bin. In fact, I couldn't find an lldb in any subdirectory of C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community. So where is the debugger for Visual Studio 2019 clang? Or which other debugger could I use? Could I use the native MSVC debugger instead? If yes, where is this one located?

You would have to build it yourself. From the website:

(*) Support for Windows is under active development. Basic functionality is expected to work, with functionality improving rapidly. ARM and AArch64 support is more experimental, with more known issues than the others.
