Hi Wouter,

I found this might related to your problem. Have you tried this?

91. How do I view local variables in MPLAB?

To be able to view local varibles in MPLAB, be sure to compile
your project with the option "Generate Debug Info" for each node.
Also add to the HEX file node the additional command line
option -FAKELOCAL

Local variables will then be seen in the format: function_name.local_var
So for example, if you had a local variable called "number" and it
was within a function called "testing", then it would appear in the
symbol list as "testing.number"
