How to find the definition of local variables in emacs?

How to find the definition of local variables in emacs?

[Thinking]

For example
int foo ()
{
  int x;
  int y;
  x = 1;
  y = 2;
}

If I press M-. in emacs under x, it can't find the tag name of x.

Only global variables can be find.

How can find the LOCAL definition of the variables?

Best regards

Hey, Guys, 
Did you hack it out?
If you did, can you give me some advice?

Why would you need advice, if someone already ,,hacked it out'' ?

My advice is this idea : Use isearch to search backward and check with
some means, if you found the declaration or (if undeclared) the
beginning of fun.

Some means could be a regexp, cc-mode, semantic or something else.
