<pre>to whom it may concern,
I am using the official LLDB python api in the project hilda
(<a href="https://github.com/doronz88/hilda">https://github.com/doronz88/hilda</a>).
When trying to evaluate an expression in MobileSafari process I noticed that
evaluating methods prefixed with underscore has unexpected behavior.
My code was:
options = lldb.SBExpressionOptions()
options.SetIgnoreBreakpoints(True)
options.SetTryAllThreads(True)
e = target.EvaluateExpression('[NSUserDefaults _sf_safariDefaults]')
e.error.Success() # This one turns as False
When printing str(e.error) I see:
error: <user expression 15>:1:17: no known method '+_sf_safariDefaults'; cast
the message send to the method's return type
It seems that for some reason, LLDB added '+' before the _sf_safariDefaults.
Also, I tried running from the LLDB command line with 'expr -o' and it worked
well, so I think the problem might be somewhere in the API.
I would really like your help solving this problem.
Thanks for dedicating time!
Matan.</pre>
