Details

(note: Component field is bogus, I couldn't find a more appropriate value)

Each class/struct in Mozilla is instantiated (0) nowhere; (1) exclusively on the heap; (2) exclusively on the stack or globals; or (3) sometimes on the heap and sometimes in stack/globals.  The question I'm posing is, which classes/structs fall into which categories?

(The point of this question is to guide migration to MMgc.  We'll probably need to autogenerate some largeish patches to get this done, and we need to make kind of a lot of decisions about how exactly to use MMgc, how much to move over to managed-gc-land, etc.)

bsmedberg and taras are chewing through stuff in this area right now.  I don't have time to look at it.
