0x8

Causes the debugger to choose the matching symbol with the largest size when the Locals window or Watch window references a symbol by name but there is more than one symbol that matches this name. The size of a symbol is defined as follows: if the symbol is the name of a function, its size is the size of the function in memory. Otherwise, the size of the symbol is the size of the data type that it represents.
