If your project is in Visual Studio (I've tried this with VC++ Express 2005, and with Visual Studio 2008 Pro):

1. Open Class View (Main menu->View->Class View)
2. Expand each project in your solution and Click on "Global Functions and Variables"

This should give you a decent list of all of the globals that are subject to the fiasco.

In the end, a better approach is to try to remove these objects from your project (easier said than done, sometimes).
