[New-bugs-announce] [issue23726] Don't enable GC for classes that don't add new fields

[Eugene Toder]

New submission from Eugene Toder:

As far as I can tell, if a new class does not add any new fields, and its base class doesn't use GC, there's no reason to enable GC for the new class.
This is useful for creating lightweight wrappers around classes implemented in C.
