Debug - watch variable error

[NicRoberts]

I'm trying to debug my UART debug code. I suspect that I have calculated the Baud rate incorrectly.

I run the code in debug & I'm trying to view the value in `what_baud` but the debugger isn't having it, see below.

How do I do this correctly?

Probably your what_baud variable has been optimised-out - hence:

You could try making it volatile

Or just watch the whole expression.

It was a context issue, I can see it when I'm stepping through the function where it exists.

Of course - the whole point of local variables is that they do not exist outside their function!
