If you say

(lldb) frame variable
without first launching the inferior, you get:
error: invalid frame

this is misleading and should probably hint that there is no process. Adding this flag makes sure that we get:
error: invalid process

The difference between eFlagRequiresProcess and eFlagProcessMustBeLaunched is an open question.
