I don't think you'll ever find it - I think it's outside the domain of 
a library to provide such features.
Whatever you do you need some way to identify all the variables that 
are used within your parallel blocks that are also used outside of the 
block.
And then you need to track all usages of those variables within the 
blocks.
A library cannot do that (at least, not invisibly).

OpenMP is (I believe) a specification of a compiler option to do the 
same thing.
