Comment at: lldb/source/Expression/DWARFExpression.cpp:1309
stack.back().GetScalar() = DerefSizeExtractDataHelper(
- addr_bytes, sizeof(addr_bytes), objfile->GetByteOrder(), size);
+ addr_bytes, size, objfile->GetByteOrder(), size);
stack.back().ClearContext();

> Why size and not `8`?
Because that preserves the semantics of the original code. The original code
allocates anywhere from 1 to 8 bytes, based on size ```uint8_t
addr_bytes[size];```. Then reads that amount from memory (line 1303 - 1304),
and then passes the size of the allocation on this line (via
```sizeof(addr_bytes)```).
Always passing eight here would be wrong, because the size of the pointer could
have been anywhere from 1 to 8.
Not also how line 1309 read size-bytes read into addr_bytes.
