Hm, your question is vague, I don't see the point you want to make.

Lifetime is a property of objects that is determined at run time.
Objects, in particular those that are allocated through malloc and
friends, don't have a sensible notion of scope.

Scope is a property of identifiers that only makes sense at
compilation time. Identifiers don't have lifetime at all.
