With LLDB you can implement your own custom formatters [1]. For example, 
in Xcode, Apple have added for Objective-C a formatter for NSImage. 
Within Xcode you can hover a variable of the type NSImage and it will 
show a small window with the image rendered.

Perhaps it's time to look at some modern alternatives and not be stuck 
with GDB ;)
