You could use internal pointers for this case as long as:
a) The struct will never get copied and/or moved. No pass by

b) It's out of GC control and in particular GC-allocated
built-in arrays.
This means you don't have that much of choice beyond things
like:
MyObject* node = (MyObject*)malloc(MyObject.sizeof);
And only ever using pointers.
Hum... well this contradicts Andrei's:
A moving collector should preserve the semantics of your object.
I want to do:
//----
Node* root = new Node;
root._next = root;
root._prev = root;
//----
So in this case, it would perfectly go with your "A"
recommendation. It's "B" I'm unsure of :/
