Rename the variables with a 1 or 2 so they are seperate and distinct.=20
And you'll know which module each is working with at a glance.

> Hello list.
>=20
> I am debugging an XC8 program with lots of modules in MPLABX 5.35.
>=20
> 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.
>=20
> 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

> Has anyone encountered this? And found any workaround?
