When your class' dtor is called, you CANNOT say whether any of the

You forgot to add: unless you know for a *fact* they're referenced from
a GC root, for example from a global variable (directly or indirectly).
Or there's an integer somewhere that LOOKS like a pointer to it ... I
was talking from the perspective of NOT having any information outside
of the object itself. :P
No, you can't assume this one. For all you know, your program might one day be
compiled with a (semi-)precise GC :).
