Does LLDB have convenience variables ($var)?

Question

Does LLDB have convenience variables? If so, how do I use them? If not, is there anything similar that I can use?

I struggled with this today. Here's what it looks like to deal with Objective-C variables in LLDB:

expr UIApplication *$app = (UIApplication *)[UIApplication sharedApplication]
expr UIWindow *$keyWindow = (UIWindow *)[$app keyWindow]

etc. I've found LLDB works best if you don't nest any calls, and you explicitly give a return type on every call.

Still I am getting a segmentation fault when I try to make initWithFrame: work on a UIView later on though. :/
