            Bug ID: 49946
           Summary: python SBTarget.EvaluateExpression cannot call
                    selectors prefixed with underscore
           Product: lldb
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW

to whom it may concern,
I am using the official LLDB python api in the project hilda
(https://github.com/doronz88/hilda).
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.
