Hello list.

I am debugging an XC8 program with lots of modules in MPLABX 5.35.

Various modules have variables that have the same name. For example I
have a SCI1 and SCI2 module, both containing a variable called rx_buf.
These variables are global within the module but not within the whole
project (declared as "static type name"). The program compiles and
functions properly.

However during debug I cannot watch these variables properly. Only one
variable is properly shown within any watch window, the other will
show as "undefined" or as a copy of the other one. When debugging
within a module I would expect the variable in scope to show up in a
watch or when hovered over, but this is not the case.

Has anyone encountered this? And found any workaround?

TIA. Cheers all.
