Derived Pointer
+
A pointer to the interior of an object, such that a garbage collector + is unable to use the pointer for reachability analysis. While a derived + pointer is live, the corresponding object pointer must be kept in a root, + otherwise the collector might free the referenced object. With copying + collectors, derived pointers pose an additional hazard that they may be + invalidated at any safe point. This term is used in + opposition to object pointer.
