[swift-dev] Adding a field to StrongRefCount class

[Jiho Choi]

Thanks for the explanation.  I modified those two locations you mentioned
but the build failed during tests.  I've been browsing the source code to
figure out other dependences but didn't succeed yet.  Could you please give
me some pointers on where to look at?

Regards,
Jiho
