Zombie Object Detector

Many C# classes in the UnityEngine namespace act as wrappers to instances of corresponding C++ classes, which hold the actual data. The class UnityEngine.GameObject is an example. Zombie objects are instances of these C# classes that have outlived their C++ counterpart. The C++ instances are destroyed in an entirely deterministic fashion, for example on scene transition. On the other hand the C# instances are garbage collected just like any other C# object. This means that there is an opportunity for the C# object to remain in existence by being referenced by other objects, static variables, etc.
