Jim,
That doesn't seem to work for us. We're using lldb packaged with Xcode 8
fyi.
(lldb) expr --top-level -- NSString *string = [NSString
stringWithUTF8String: "This is a string"];
; Function Attrs: nounwind
define internal void @_GLOBAL__sub_I__null_() #0 section
"__TEXT,__StaticInit,regular,pure_instructions" {
call void @__cxx_global_var_init()
ret void
}
