Consider a GC app. It is not safe to access object ivars during -finalize due to the uncertainty which self and the ivar objects will be finalised.
Question: Is it safe to call objc_getAssociatedObject in -finalize or do the same caveats apply? I have no real idea how the collector treats such associated objects. My guess would be that it simply collects them like any other object and that objc_getAssociatedObject cannot be safely called in -finalize.
