Hmmmm. The only difference between local and global variables is where the variable is stored, so this gets tricky.
I'd start by mangling the source code into a more convenient form -- deleting all things in /* */, //, " " so they don't cause false matches, making every { } happen on its own line, forcing lines to break on ; etc etc so it's easier to match with tools like grep. Then you can count the brackets to tell whether you're inside or outside a function...

cow-shell
cow-shell(1) cowdancer cow-shell(1)
NAME
cow-shell - Start a copy-on-write session and invoke a shell.
SYNOPSIS
cow-shell [commandline]
DESCRIPTION
cow-shell Executes specified command with cowdancer or a shell if no command-line option is given.
Inside the cowdancer session, files under the current directory are protected in a way so that a write operation to an i-node which existed
at the point of running cow-shell is not modified.
Useful for managing hard-linked source-trees and scratch-filesystems.
EXAMPLES
cp -al cowdancer/ cowdancer.new && cd cowdancer.new && cow-shell
Create a hardlinked tree, and cd into the newly created tree. After invoking cow-shell inside that tree, a write operation against
a file that is hardlinked with the original tree will be copied to a new file before write.
cp -al cowdancer/ cowdancer.new && cd cowdancer.new && cow-shell debuild
Tries to run dpkg-buildpackage on the new tree, to avoid damage to the original tree.
Configure debuild to ignore .ilist files, through -i or -I option.
FILES
.ilist Generated dynamically in the current directory. The file contains the list of i-node numbers that should be protected from write
operation.
/usr/lib/cowdancer/libcowdancer.so
The shared library used internally that overrides some functions that potentially write to files. This library implements the COW
feature and is preloaded with LD_PRELOAD.
/bin/cp
Used for copying. Requires GNU option -a to be functional.
ENVIRONMENT
COWDANCER_ILISTFILE
The path to the current .ilist file.
COWDANCER_IGNORE
Used internally to work around infinite loops. It will be unset.
LD_PRELOAD
Utilized to preload libcowdancer.so
COWDANCER_DEBUG
Debugging option. Enables debug messages. cowdancer will give verbose debug messages in standard error output.
COWDANCER_SO
Debugging option. Specifies a different path for libcowdancer.so.
COWDANCER_REUSE=yes
Enables reuse of cowdancer .ilist file found for consecutive runs of cow-shell.
RETURN VALUE
The functions that are overridden with cowdancer will give an errno value of ENOMEM when there is a problem.
System isn't really out of memory, but this error code is chosen because this error is usually handled gracefully by applications.
RESTRICTIONS
Can only support directories that are scanned by cow-shell command.
The operation is not semantically correct when files are originally hardlinked, hardlinks are always broken.
Does not support anything when LD_PRELOAD trick does not work.
Does not work unless hardlinks are supported on the filesystem.
Not very user-friendly.
Leaves .ilist file around.
