Details

A couple weeks ago we had an IRC chat about whether it was legal to declare a GCObject or GCFinalizedObject as a member of another GCO/GCFO. IIRC consensus was "no, but we probably do it". This bug to provide a place to discuss/clarify the rule if necessary, implement a checker for it, and track any resulting code patches.

This might be useful for exact tracing. For exact tracing we convert to GCTraceableObject where we need it, and the constructor for that class has an assert that checks that the object is not a member of another object. However, it'll actually fail to catch cases where the embedded object is at the beginning of the other object.
