Last time I looked, the LLVM debugger didn't work well on Windows, and
was definitely not a good idea as a tool to debug Emacs, because it
didn't support the .gdbinit commands (which are essential for any
reasonable debugging of the Emacs C code), and didn't support GDB/MI
(which means you cannot use it with "M-x gdb" from Emacs).
Unless this has changed drastically since I looked, my advice to you
is to use GDB for debugging the Emacs C code, otherwise you will have
a whole additional level of difficulties in making this port happen.
