Excellent! stuck this in a header:
  extern String Global_string; // call test->print(&Global_string); p
Global_string.c_ptr(); call Global_string.free()

this in a .cc file:
  String Global_string;

and can call it repeatedly from gdb like so:
  (gdb) call test->print(&Global_string)
  (gdb) p Global_string.c_ptr()
  $11 = 0x8df42a8 "(`Orders_0`.`id` = 2186)"
  (gdb) call Global_string.free()
where test is some Item.
