The gdb manual is not clear on how comparisons work on gdb.Value types.
Converting to a python string and comparing in python work well, using
== on string gdb.Values results in this:
gdb.error: evaluation of this expression requires the program to
have a function "malloc"
My guess is gdb attempts to convert both arguments to gdb.Value and do
the comparison via a call on the target? This is very undesirable here.
I get the same error if "name" is a gdb.Value instead of being converted
to a string in invoke().
