First, what Michael said :-)

GDB has an "info scope" command that prints exactly this.

However, if you want to write your own standalone tool, reading GDB
will probably be harder than working it out from the DWARF standard.
Because GDB supports multiple formats, everything is first translated
into an internal form.

If you just need to get something done, you could script GDB with
Python.
