+I've attached the patch, which is moving the assertion that generic
+type is closed only to the case of value type. Otherwise, the size of
+field containing it is just a pointer size and it does not depend on
+the closedness of generic type.
+
+For value types the assertion seems to be feasible, since
+struct A <T> {
+  A<T> f;
+}
+
+is always invalid, also for static fields.
