I modifed GDB to make in possible to cehck whether variables are in
scope. I'm not sure if that's what you want, but you can do things
like:

print $in_scope(var1);

or in a command file:

if($in_scope(var1) == 1)

i.e. do something if var1 is in scope. At the moment it only covers
certain cases as I haven't had time to finish it off, but it wouldn't
be hard to do. I modified it against 6.6, but hopefully I can forge a
patch out of it, if you want it. I've never made a patch before, but
I'm sure I'll figure it out.
