It does not exist in the module or the function object but on the stack.
Let's go to C again:
void baz(void);
void foo(void)
{
int bar = 42;
baz();
}
How do you get from `baz()` the value of `foo()`\s local `bar`? Other
than ugly non portable stack trickery!?
Why don't you just give the object as argument to your C function?
Wanting to poke around in the callers name space is code smell. Don't do
that.
