[lldb-dev] Why SBValue::Cast is deprecated and how to replace it with expression?

[Roman Popov via lldb-dev]

Hello,

SBValue::Cast marked as deprecated in LLDB headers:

// Deprecated - use the expression evaluator to perform type casting
lldb::SBValue Cast(lldb::SBType type);

But I can't understand how to replace it with expression evaluation.

Suppose I have:

auto casted_val = my_value.Cast(my_type);

What would be equivalent expression, taking into account that both value
and type can be out of current scope?


Same question on stackoverflow:

Thanks in advance for help,
