    lib: objagg: Fix general protection fault · b4a3a89f
    Ido Schimmel authored
    The library supports aggregation of objects into other objects only if
    the parent object does not have a parent itself. That is, nesting is not
    supported.
    
    Aggregation happens in two cases: Without and with hints, where hints
    are a pre-computed recommendation on how to aggregate the provided
    objects.
    
    Nesting is not possible in the first case due to a check that prevents
    it, but in the second case there is no check because the assumption is
    that nesting cannot happen when creating objects based on hints. The
    violation of this assumption leads to various warnings and eventually to
    a general protection fault [1].
    
    Before fixing the root cause, error out when nesting happens and warn.
