Print (po) the value of a Swift anonymous closure argument from the console in Xcode

Question

I have a rather simple question I hope has a simple answer. I am using Swift's filter method to filter a collection of objects using the anonymous closure argument $0:

let filteredArray = myArray.filter {
    $0.name != "Bob"
}

I have set a breakpoint inside the filter closure and just want to inspect the value of $0, but when I type po $0 on the console it gives me:

(lldb) po $0

error: :2:1: error: anonymous closure argument not contained in a closure

$0

^

How can I get around this?

To be clear, the code compiles and runs, but gives me this error on the console at runtime.

This is a known issue with Xcode 8.1 GM Seed. From the release notes:

Anonymous closure arguments in Swift cannot be used in LLDB expressions. For example, po $0 is not supported.

You can use the frame variable command to print its value:

fr va $0
