C - How to view pointer to array of strings as array in Xcode's debugger

Question

So I have char **sentence with sentence[0] = string0, sentence[1] = string1, etc. Is there a way I can print the entire array in lldb? So that it shows up as {string0, string1, ...}

What if there are a thousand strings in the array? Do you want them all to display? — Caleb

po calls class-implemented (in process) description methods. For instance in ObjC they call either description or debugDescription methods. C (and C++) data types have no convention for providing string descriptions of themselves, so po won't do anything more than print or frame var for C and C++ datatypes. — Jim Ingham

This is answered in:

View array in LLDB: equivalent of GDB's '@' operator in Xcode 4.1

particularly, you can use the parray command in any recent lldb.

There isn't a way to do this in the Xcode Locals view, but you can do this in the Xcode Debugger Console.
