2	This function is called before an object is freed.
3      </p><p>
4	When the real object is tracked by debugobjects it is checked,
5	whether the object can be freed. Free is not allowed for
6	active objects. When debugobjects detects an error, then it
7	calls the fixup_free function of the object type description
8	structure if provided by the caller. The fixup function can
9	correct the problem before the real free of the object
10	happens. E.g. it can deactivate an active object in order to
11	prevent damage to the subsystem.
12      </p><p>
13	Note that debug_object_free removes the object from the
14	tracker. Later usage of the object is detected by the other
15	debug checks.
