Hello. I have some notes regarding the expression results.

Multiline strings are impossible to parse. Consider this example

char[] str="line 1\n line \" more";

In ddbg
= str
will look something like this

->= str
"line1
 line " more"

so the end could not be determined.
Also char ch=255; results "4invalid utf8 sequence" in the results.
I suggest the type of the variable to be indicated in the output with one letter including the string length. Then the chars could be printed as decimal/hex value and if they are valid utf8 the symbol itself could be printed too.
