        <pre>(lldb) expr "foo"
(const char [4]) $0 = "foo"
(lldb) expr "bar"
(const char [4]) $1 = "bar"
(lldb) expr $0
(const char [4]) $0 = “bar”
^ Should have printed "foo"

This however works just fine:

(lldb) expr char c[] = "foo"; c
(char [4]) $0 = "foo"
(lldb) expr char c[] = "bar"; c
(char [4]) $1 = "bar"
(lldb) expr $0
(char [4]) $0 = “foo”

We either need to keep the sections for the strings around or support copying
the related memory to our storage for persistent variable values.</pre>
