[Mono-dev] field pointer and garbage collection

[Alex Rønne Petersen]

Amendment: That being said, if you're actually writing new code,
prefer to check !sgen_ptr_in_nursery (obj) &&
sgen_object_safe_get_size (obj) <= SGEN_MAX_SMALL_OBJ_SIZE. That's
generally better than sgen_los_is_valid_object () which performs a
pass over all LOS objects.
